Heather started cycling at an early age and joined her first club, the ThorntonRC in 1954. Taking part in many club activities, club runs, time trials, etc.
Heather married in 1957 and raised a family, but as they became adults she returned to cycling, riding time trials with the Crawley Whs. Riding in the championships in 1979 Heather came 4th in the National 100 Championship.
In the 1980's Heather rejoined the ThorntonRC and put a lot of interest and enthusiasm into the Club. She also still managed to find time to care for sick or injured birds and animals.
Sadly she lost her battle against cancer on Friday 25th Oct. She leaves behind a husband John and 3 Daughters Sandra, Hazel, Jennifer plus 3 Grandsons Charles, Patrick and Woody.
Heather had many friends and will be greatly missed by all.
