She was a true beacon of hope and love during challenging times, and many owe their healing to her tender care. Heather's spirit was magnetic; she was a people person who thrived in the presence of others. A lover of the underdog, she had an innate ability to uplift those who felt overlooked. Her friends and family will forever remember her warm smile and the kindness she effortlessly extended to everyone she met.

Horseback riding allowed her to explore the beauty of nature, while Lake Powell stood as one of her favorite sanctuaries, a place where she found peace and inspiration.
