Obituary for Dr. Philippa (Pip) Louise Heritage
It is with immense sadness we share the news that our beloved Pip has passed. Pip passed peacefully at Emmanuel House Hospice on March 27, 2020 after a 6 month battle with brain cancer. She was surrounded by her 4 daughters and husband at the time of her passing.
Pip was an accomplished scientist and dedicated yogi that brought youthful energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to everything she did. She will be remembered for different things by her large and loving group of friends and family. She loved music, to dance, laugh, make pies and celebrate holidays and life’s moments with her family.
Pip loved to share her knowledge and spent many years teaching at McMaster, Canadian Naturopathic College, and in her roles as technology advisor and policy analyst with the federal government. More recently she loved to share her passion for yoga with others and leading yin, restorative and hatha practices at Del La Sol yoga studio. Her particular passion was to make yoga accessible for everyone, regardless of age or physical abilities, with a focus on mindful movement.
She will be deeply missed by her daughters; Zoe and Sam, stepdaughters; Julie and Laura, husband; Tim, brother and sister-in-law Steve and Maddie, her father Keith and step-mother Shirley and son-in-law Colin. A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Death notice for the town of: Dundas, Province: Ontario
I was very sorry to hear about Pips passing. Pip was a mentor of mine for two years at CRA – we were a part of the CRA mentoring program – she was a wonderful role model and leader. In fact just recently on International Womens Day we could name people who helped influence us and I mentioned the two mentors I had, Pip being one and how she helped me to advance to the position I am in now. Pip was genuine. And cared. One time she was on a work trip to BC but had me send her a submission I had that was due and she sent me her suggestions for a rewrite. After the mentoring was up we’d run into one another infrequently but there was always a hug and a quick check-in. She mentioned her girls quite often and the love shone through. I was very sorry to hear of her passing – the world has lost a kind, and thoughtful fun loving soul. I love the photo you chose – that was so her. Condolences to her family.
