Heather struggled with her diagnoses of Huntington’s disease since her early twenties. The family adventures at Margaret Bruce Beach every summer, along with several RV trips throughout the USA, and a 30 day bus tour across England and mainland Europe helped to fulfill her bucket list over the years.

Heather took great pride in her family, & especially loved hearing about her grandchildren & great grandbabies.
