Thank you to all the staff, including those working hard behind the scenes at Crescent Park Lodge for your care over the past two years for Heather.

Heather was a talented seamstress, creative ceramic doll maker, incredible baker and incredible personal chef. She loved hosting gatherings. Heather was also passionate about taking care of others and showed that in many ways. Even through early years of her Alzheimer’s, she continued to volunteer within our community. Her passion for people will be carried on by her family. In memory of Heather, we ask that you “pay it forward” and put a smile on someone’s face. Each day is a gift and you get to choose how to embrace it.

At Heather’s request, cremation has taken place and a private intimate service for only her husband, children and grandchildren has taken place.
