Heather will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all her family and friends. Her infectious smile, love of laughter and importance of family are just some of the qualities that endeared her to all those that came to know her. After working for many years at General Electric in Barrie, Heather spent many more years as a sales associate at the South-End Walmart, where she enjoyed interacting with her many colleagues and customers. In her personal time, she very much looked forward to the many travel adventures that she and Don participated in over the years as well as camping, fishing and quilting time spent with family and friends.
The family wishes to thank the entire medical team at the Royal Victoria Hospital for their support throughout Heather’s medical journey and especially over the course of her last week.
