They were posted to Paris and then Singapore for several years and travelled very widely. Heather led a very long and active life. She worked as a volunteer for Oxfam for 20 years and was interested in the Arts, playing bridge and going on innumerable holidays! She felt very fortunate to have had so many good friends. She is survived by her 3 children, 4 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. A memorial celebration will be held at 2pm Tuesday 18th April at Christ Church East Sheen. Heather requested no flowers but please make charitable donations to the Macmillan Trust or Cancer Research.
