With courage and grace, and in the arms of her loving family, Heather passed from this world and is finally at peace.
In her 40 years, she touched the lives of so many, and will be forever remembered for her beautiful spirit, her wonderful laugh, and her fierce love for her family.
She leaves behind her beloved husband Ryan, her son Evan and her daughter Brynn, loving parents Dave and Colleen Naylor, sister, and best friend Deirdre (Cam) Shipley, dear brother Matthew (Erin) Naylor, and grandparents Brian and Cecile McEachen. Heather is survived by her parents-in-law Kathy and Gerry Leasa, and sisters-in-law Jaime (Scott) Young, Carey (Courtney) McLean, and Jenny (Ryan) Goodearle. Dearest aunt to Owen, Avery, Thomas, Ava, Lucy, Charlie, Michael, Heidi and Erica, and the cherished niece of Jeff and Linda Naylor, Monica Curran, and Laura McEachen.
Heather loved playing soccer, volleyball, running, golf and pretty much any other sport and instilled that love in her babies. She was a dedicated Respiratory Therapist at St Thomas Elgin General Hospital and was one of those people fortunate enough to have loved her career. She counted many of her co-workers among her closest friends, in what was an incredible army around her. Heather and her family have been so blessed by this huge network of support, and our gratitude is infinite.
