Heather (Adams) Reagan was born on September 11, 1920 in Bournemouth, England to Harold Claude and Beatrice Louise Adams. As a girl she attended boarding school at the Cheltenham Ladies’ College. She was the quintessential English lady from a bygone era. Her father always told her not to fall in love with an American, but she did anyway. While visiting Africa with her family she met the love of her life and married Colonel John F. Reagan. As an Army family, they lived all over the world including Morocco, Germany and Okinawa. Heather worked hard at raising a family of 5 children. Her sweet and polite nature was always present. Her faith was an inspiration to all who knew or even met her. Her comments about her faith include, “it is God’s will,” “offer it up” and “I’m not lucky, I’m blessed.”
Heather passed away peacefully on March 2, 2017 into the arms of her Savior to be reunited with her beloved John.
She is survived by 4 daughters and a son - Heather Renshaw (Robert), Ginny Reyes (Tony), Margaret Clench (Barry), John C. Reagan and Brenda Longoria (Joe).
