Heather’s last day at The Guinness Partnership, eating dinner with her team. Heather was extremely well liked by her colleagues. She only worked here briefly but she a lasting impression on those she worked with.
I’m extremely saddened to hear of Heather’s passing. I worked with Heather many years ago and she was a very kind, friendly and compassionate person. My heart goes out to her husband, two sons and the rest of her family.
Rest easy Heather.
In loving memory of Heather, a very kind and gentle soul. RIP XX
I am so very saddened to hear of Heather's passing. We didn’t know each other for very long, only a few weeks when we used to meet at our sons’ football. We used to sit next to each other and chat about various things. Heather, you struck as a very kind, pleasant and gentle soul with a great smile. I used to look for you the moment I landed at footie and will sorely miss you:( Rest in peace.
My thoughts are with all of Heather’s family and especially her boys.

We never met Heather , but are totally saddened on this news my thoughts are now with her family and 2 sons we are truly sorry everyone one must be totally devastated please take our condolences ( Ruth , Christopher’s sister
Heather, you’ll be so sadly missed. A wonderful kind human & mother
I didn’t know Heather very well but she always seemed to be a lovely lady. I remember her at Beeston Voices for a little while. She came to collect some water butts from me for Edible Beeston and we’d smile and say hello when we saw each other around Beeston. Sending so much love to her family as they navigate a world without her.
Many people I know were blessed by Heather's help over the last year or so, as she joined a team supporting refugees. The enthusiasm, intelligence, and compassion she brought to this work was clearly the same that she brought to many other endeavours. What an amazing woman, who did so much good in the world, and what a great loss to so many!
Dearest Heather,
You were genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
You were always the organiser of our teacher group and went above and beyond to help me with lesson planning many a time!
You never forgot a birthday and even when we hadn’t seen each other for a while you always sent a card.
Sending so much love to Steve and your boys.
Forever grateful to have know you Heather

Mon amie, merci pour tout ce que tu as été. Tu resteras toujours dans mon cœur 💙
Heather, your smile lit up a room and it was a joy to do your wedding flowers when you married your lovely Steve. We know how very loved you were by your family, too, hearing stories from Gill. Your memory will shine on like the bright star you were xx
Heather, your light, love and passion is an inspiration to us all. We will always remember your smile, laughter and kind heart. Sending love and strength to Heather’s family and Steve, Jack & Luke x x

This photo was a few weeks into meeting in France. Heather wanted to know what her would look like dark so I stuck my head over so she could get a photo…. But then she didn’t want her spot showing! Classic Heds having us in stitches
One of the many parties for Heather’s bday
For the Avignon crew that will know what laughter this photo of Heds and Shmicles brought to us all!!
This is what we called one of our core photos from an hike during our year abroad in Avignon. Heds played a huge role in how close we all became. Her hilarious stories, funny interpretations of whatever was going on brought so much laughter every day.
Jack and Charlotte’s shared 6th birthday party. I have such fond memories of sharing the planning (and everything that came with it) of jack and Charlotte’s birthday parties with Heather for the past couple of years. I will her dearly xxx
Many happy memories and many many photos with the good old digital camera era! We had so great times and you would always make us laugh with your Heatherisims. Beautiful heart xxx

Lovely time seeing Heather at my daughters afternoon tea hen party , memories will live forever especially a beautiful human being who will always be remembered as caring kind and gentle soul ❤️😢
End of year celebration and leaving do for Heather.
Heather was pure gold—selfless, kind, and always up for a laugh. Christmases with her and Stephen were wild: Limoncello flowing, music blasting, us dancing like lunatics in the kitchen. She lit up every room and will always light up my heart. Love you. xx
Remembering the fun, happy times we all had together. We all miss you so much.💔xxx
i love you so much
