Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Heather had touched in some small way through her short, yet very memorable life. Heather's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Heather was born in Pt.

Moving on to university, Heather held a Master's Degree in Language Arts. Heather's love of fashion and travel was evident to all of her family and friends. We were fortunate that even in her adult life she enjoyed our family vacations to many parts of the world. Always a kind heart, with a gentle smile, Heather, devoted her life to giving unto others. An exceptional teacher, she touched the lives of so many students. Heather volunteered her time and creativity with many local organizations, assisted living facilities. Heather was an active member of the Lewis Kingman Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Along with other committee contributions she served for three years as the Regent's Page.

Heather participated in the chapter Literacy Program for school children and took an active part in DAR Community Service collecting food and clothing for the Kingman Food Bank. She served on the Project Patriot Committee assisting with the mailing of care packages to those in Harm's Way.
