Heather was my first cousin and I fondly remember our time together during the many visits to Aunt Hazel & Uncle Mervin’s farm when I was young. She was always kind and thoughtful and we had a lot of fun together. As so often happens, we lost touch for some of our adult years but we always asked about each other when speaking with other relatives. I was so grateful when Heather recently reached out to me (after some searching) and we had a wonderful conversation and I was looking forward to more. I will miss her.
To the Ryan family, so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your family!
My condolences to the family on the passing of Heather. I met her at the encore club & she was a loyal members of our 55 & over club at the legion. I will miss her smiling face. May she Rest in the Arms of the Lord.
Our condolences to Heather’s family. She was a wonderful human being and kind to all who knew her. Her memory will last on my future visits to Petticoat Lane, walking by St. Peter’s, singing on our choir and enjoying Legion activities.
I am saddened and shocked to hear of Heather's passing. My condolences to her family. Whether at church or at other Roseneath Community functions, chats with Heather are always interesting. I will miss her.
Our condolences to Heather's family and friends with her sudden and unexpected passing. She was a quiet, thoughtful lady who loved her family. She enjoyed singing in choirs and volunteering in her community. She'll be missed.
I was so saddened to hear about Heather passing away. Hopefully she did not suffer. What a wonderful lady she was. I line danced with her in the Encore group. Also served her lunch at the 55 Club at Cobourg Legion. She will be definitely missed. Rest in peace Heather. Condolences to her family.
Bryan & Eva We are sorry to hear about your sister passing away. Keep your memories close. Our condolences to you and your Family.
My deepest sympathy to Val and all of Heather's family and friends at the loss of this lovely human. Heather was a long-time, much-loved member of our women's chorus, AbZolutely Choir. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone in our community, as well as many ideas on performing opportunities and songs to explore, and she loved a good laugh. In the last couple of years she moved to the Soprano section from the Mezzos, not a common thing to do as the voice ages. But I think she "found her voice," possibly in more ways than one. She was quiet and perhaps came across as reserved but had a passion for history, genealogy and singing…and probably much, much more, but these things are what I know well of her. I will personally miss her very much and our choir will not be the same without her.
Condolences to all Heathers family Heather and I are first cousins but having a ten year difference in our age it has only been the last year we kept in touch quite regularly talked for over an hour each time wish we had more time together but God needed another angel and he is getting a good one RIP Heather
Our deepest condolences to Heather’s family . We were her neighbours “over the fence “ from her place in St Peter’s Court . We will miss her singing & chats . Bob & Sandy Burge
To Heather's family my sincere condolences. I met Heather at Petticoat Lane, she was on the morning shift and i was on the afternoon shift and we would have a little chat before she left. I will miss those chats and her smile.RIP Heather
To Heather’s family I send my sympathies. I got to know her from her many visits to the Cobourg Public Library, where I worked. She always stopped by the children’s department and said hello to me. I believe she brought a niece with her to a few programs as well. She was a very kind person. R.I.P. Heather
Heather was a very friendly person and was enthusiastic about all sorts of things like singing. I am sad to learn she has passed. My condolences to her family.
Dear family, friends and loved ones, I was shocked and sad to hear of Heather's passing. I met Heather when we were volunteers at Pettycoat Lane. She was dedicated to giving back to her community and was so happy at being part of this special group of volunteers. I remember when Heather joined the Shout Sister Choir, and did she love to sing. She was incredibly good at memorizing her lyrics and part..she was so proud, and I of her. She loved being with people, a genuine, kind person who would find time to say hello and chat. Never lost for conversation on any topic, I will miss those conversations and truly miss Heather. Your journey has just begun.....
Heather was my classmate throughout high school in Cobourg. She was very intelligent, kind and quiet. I am so sorry that she has passed. My thoughts are with her family. Herm
It was 12 years ago when Heather and I met as Volunteers at Petticoat Lane. We now have to say good-bye. Heather loved working at the shop. She loved chatting and helping customers. Heather loved her family, especially her niece who is a jockey. During our coffee breaks we learnt a lot more about the world of horse racing. Heather’s friendship, caring and bubbly personality continued into the community – where she lived in Cobourg, and in Roseneath. She loved animals so it was common Heather would drive to Roseneath to look after someone’s cats, drive back to Cobourg for her shift at the shop, then drive back to Roseneath. If anyone needed a ride or favour, Heather was happy to oblige. What else did Heather love? For sure she loved Food! A chef’s perfect patron, who ate everything on her plate and would give a sigh of deep satisfaction. We sure did enjoy the sweet treats she brought us from Doohers bakery in Campbellford. Heather loved being in photographs, whether it be with a few others or in a large crowd, you could always spot her as she had the widest, genuine smile. We miss her already. Alma. Mary, Betty, Linda Lisa, Ann and Richard

It was just yesterday a memory was shared of how relaxed Heather could become at the end of our Encore club chair yoga class while meditating....once actually dropping off in a small nap.We shared an interest in Outlander and things Scottish.I will miss having a chat as l walked through "the Court"
Heather, I will miss you. You were a friend, a faithful choir member at Roseneath and a kind support for me. Your knowledge of the region and the people who lived here was extensive and you told fascinating stories about their histories. My sympathy to Heather's family, neighbours and choir friends. Peace, dear lady.
