Heather loved the work she did and was her happiest while helping others succeed in life. While working for Jack Carr she had the opportunity to engage and work alongside community leaders and always advocated for people less fortunate, this type of work is what defined Heather as a person and leader.

Heather was a beautiful soul that lived a rich life. Friends and family have always benefited from her culinary wisdom. It had a way of bringing us together.

Heather would drop whatever she was doing to stop and help anyone. She deeply loved her family, it didn’t matter if you were related or not; she took you in as “family”. She was always there to help anyone along their journey.

Heather will forever be remembered for her big heart, compassion and strength.
