Obituary

Brittney Heavan Beadle, 29, beloved Daughter, Wife, Sister, Granddaughter, Aunt, and Daughter-in-law, wandered into the next great adventure on June 14, 2026. She entered this world on December 5, 1996 in Taylor, PA. She is survived by her mother Karla Beadle; father Nicholas Beadle; husband Patrick Coppieters; brother Jesse Beadle; grandmother Anne Petillo; niece Rosie Mae Vincent; mother-in-law Andrea Cardoso; grandmother-in-law Lucia Cardoso, and her soulmate dog Buck.

To know Brittney was to witness a life lived in full color. She moved through the world with a heart wide open, collecting moments, people, and memories. She was passionate about life itself: the way the seasons changed, the way sunflowers always found the light, the way touching grass could ground a soul, and how the beach and the mountains held her heart. She believed in the magic of the universe, the healing power of journaling, the comfort of a good book, and the joy of connecting deeply with others.


Holidays were her playground, Christmas lights, Halloween decorations, and every excuse to celebrate. She loved animals, theme parks, traveling, and the simple delight of giving gifts just because. Her creativity flowed through arts and crafts, through her writings and drawings, and through the inspirational clothing she designed to share hope with the world.


One of her greatest loves came with four paws. Brittney rescued her soulmate dog, Buck, during the same week she shaved her head after treatment. From that moment on, they were inseparable, two brave hearts navigating life together.


Brittney lived boldly. She walked in New York Fashion Week with AnaOno from 2017 to 2019, radiating confidence and redefining beauty. She wrote and published A Peace of Hope - Finding Inner Peace and Healing Through Stage IV Cancer, a book that became a lifeline for countless others. She spoke on stages across the country, including the Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference, a Fortune 100 healthcare company, and Living Beyond Breast Cancer's Thriving Together 2024 Conference. Her voice carried wisdom far beyond her years.


Her story reached even further through the feature documentary Thriver A Survivor Story, released on Amazon and YouTube. The film earned awards at festivals around the world, from Tokyo to Orlando, and every purchase supported MetaVivor's mission to fund breast cancer research. Brittney never stopped giving back.


Adventure was her love language. She converted a minivan into a tiny home and traveled to more than 25 states. She bought her dream home in Florida with her husband, just twenty minutes from Disney, her happy place. She worked at her dream job at Universal Studios. And in the most Brittney way possible, she married her soulmate, Patrick, in Las Vegas at The Little White Chapel... on Leap Day.


But perhaps her greatest accomplishment was the way she lived after being diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer at just 18 years old. For 11 years, she thrived. She dreamed. She created. She loved. She never gave up. She chose joy even when life gave her every reason not to. She chose love over fear, again and again.


Brittney inspired thousands around the world to believe in themselves, to savor the small things, to chase their dreams, and to live life with intention. Her mission was simple and profound: to help others live fully, through love, inspiration, and joy.


Her story does not end here. It continues in every person she touched, every life she lifted, every moment of courage she sparked. Brittney's light remains, bright as ever, reminding us to look for magic, to choose love, and to live with our whole hearts.
