Heather was a free spirit and lived very independently up until her death. She loved going to concerts in Portland with friends and listening to her favorite bands. She loved animals; especially her 14-year-old cat "Stripey" who lived with her. Heather was an avid reader. She had a close circle of friends and loved hanging out with them. Heather had dreams of traveling and one day returning to Spain where she had traveled her sophomore year. Heather loved the rain and the ocean. Heather loved befriending people who were considered different or outcasts to society. Heather's favorite holiday was Halloween. She marched to a tune of a different drummer! She was making plans to further her education and attend a 4-year university studying science or a career in the medical field.
She was preceded in death by: her great-grandmother Norma O'Kelley; a cousin Kindra Forster of Prineville, Ore., and a great-grandfather William Andersen of Ontario, Oregon.
