Heather loved to travel, fine dining, adventure, athletics, her family and friends, and helping others. Heather truly lived her life to the fullest in her 44 years. She never let one moment or any opportunity pass her by.

A favorite quote of hers is by Ralph Waldo Emerson- “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived- that is to have succeeded.”
