Working in a clerical capacity for a few different schools over the years, her fondest memories were working at Los Altos High School and Menlo College. She retired in 1995. Heather’s love of theater was one of her greatest interests and she had season tickets to the Palo Alto Players and TheatreWorks Silicon Valley for many decades. Heather also had great interest and compassion for all things dogs and cats and was a regular donor to various charitable organizations throughout the country. She always remembered her loved ones' birthdays, holidays, and celebrations by sending a greeting card for each occasion.
