Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory -
Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Thea Lynn
Wiedeman, affectionately known to us as "Chicken". Born in Phoenix, AZ
on September 29th, 2025, Thea graced us with her spirited and joyful
presence for a brief while before leaving us on December 11th, 2025.

Thea was the brightest light in our lives, a curious and playful soul
who loved being stylish with her bows and printed swaddles. Her funny
and loving nature brought a smile to everyone around her. She was smart
beyond her years and loved to engage with her environment in her own
unique way. Thea loved listening to Disney stories, specifically Beauty
and the Beast, which filled the room with her laughter. She was a fierce
little fighter, who, in her own way, kicked Congenital Diaphragmatic
Hernia (CDH) booty! In the words of A.A. Milne, "You are braver than you
believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think," and Thea
embodied this spirit of resilience and courage.

Thea cherished her cow toy and her best friends Jesse the Giraffe,
Melvin the Unicorn, and Charlie the Chicken. She is survived by her
loving family: her mother, Tatelynn Shoemake; father, Tristan Wiedeman;
sister, Taela Wiedeman; Gigi, Heather Gewecke; Lolly, Robin Shoemake;
PaPa, Robert Shoemake; Grandpa, Tim Gewecke; MeMaw, Sharon Kirk; Uncle
Tyce Shoemake and Uncle Thomas Mcguire; Aunt Raigan Mcguire, Aunt Maddie
Wiess, and Aunt Alyshia Drozdzal. Each of them played a unique role in
Thea's life, contributing to the beautiful tapestry of love and care
that surrounded her.

Thea's life will be celebrated on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 12:00
pm MST at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory, 21 Riviera Boulevard,
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, 86403. In the words of Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry
because it's over, smile because it happened." As we gather to remember
Thea, we celebrate the love, joy, and laughter she brought into our
lives.

We encourage all who knew and loved Thea to leave memories and upload
photos to her memorial page. These shared moments of love, laughter, and
happiness will serve as a beautiful testament to Thea's vibrant life and
the joy she brought to each of us.
