19 April 1932 - 11 May 2020
I have many fond memories of Heather, who I first met in 1998 at the Rozelle Bay Community Nursery where we both did Bushcare.
We were also both regulars at the Annandale Precinct Meetings.
Heather with her friend Hilma was a core member of the Presbyterian Community in Annandale.
Through Heather, I got involved in guiding heritage walks as part of the Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church Heritage Day.
Heather encouraged me to write my Annandale Short Walk Books and
provided valuable feedback on drafts of my first six books (1890s
Annandale, Federation Annandale, Annandale's Great War, 1920s, 1930s and
1940s Annandale) published between 2010 and 2016.
Heather left Annandale in 2015 and returned to Narrabri. My partner and I visited her in Narrabri in 2016. Heather was a great tour guide of her home town. We visited the Observatory and Sawn Rocks.
A thanksgiving service was held at St Stephens Presbyterian Church in Narrabri and Heather was buried at the Narrabri Lawn Cemetry on 15th May. The text of the sermon and recordings of the service are available via https://www.facebook.com/NarrabriPC/posts/705395276903789
My condolences go to her family.
