Daughter of the late Paul Gilmer and Margaret Valcour of Kemptville, ON. Cherished daughter in law of Beverley and the late Douglas Hughes of Brantford, ON. Loving and beautiful wife of Randy Hughes of Kemptville, ON. She took a chance of love and made him a better person. He was a truly lucky man.

In addition to various aunts, uncles and cousins in her extended family. A small town girl, she became a library technician with the OCDSB after completing her education at Algonquin College where she passed with honours. Previously, she had worked at the Kemptville Advance front office for about 10 years. Heather enjoyed the simple things in life and benefited from some wonderful friendships because of her giving and loving nature. The family wants to express the appreciation for all of the support it received over the course of Heather’s illness. We could not have managed without you – Dr. John Evans, Dr. Ruth Biggar and the support staff of the Ottawa ALS Clinic. The local CCAC staff, Bayshore Home Healthcare, Pharmasave Kemptville and Palliative Care Team. Our youthful and exuberant PSW Pam Hamilton. Thanks to all of you who made it as easy as possible for her to stay at home for the duration. Heather was particularly proud of her support of the ALS Society and was a significant fundraiser at the fall event. The family will continue to support this cause. Friends may visit the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville, on Thursday, February 16, 2016 from 2 to 4 pm & 6 to 8 pm. A Funeral Service will be held at St. John’s United Church, 400 Prescott Street, Kemptville, on Friday, February 17th at 11 am. To honour her life, in lieu of flowers a donation to ALS or another charity of your choice would be appreciated. We Wish You Enough!
