<div itemprop="description">Passed away unexpectedly at home on July 25, 2017, in her 81st year. Heather was the best friend and cherished wife of Andreas Thuswaldner for 59 years. Loving and much-loved mother of Norman (Karen Clifford), Andrew (Cindy Thuswaldner), and Stephen (Luisa Thuswaldner); grandmother of Sarah, Jessie, Nicholas, Emily, Marco, Erik, and Caleb Thuswaldner; and great grandmother of Nadya, Norah, Nylah, and Linnea. She was the devoted daughter of the late Catherine Crites. <br> <br>Heather enjoyed a wonderfully active life in the great outdoors. In the winter, she went downhill skiing both locally and in Western Canada and the U.S., and cross-country skiing in the Greenbelt and the Gatineau Hills¬. In the summer, she canoe camped with Andreas throughout Ontario and Quebec, hiked, rollerbladed, and the list goes on. As Heather's late-life scoliosis presented numerous physical challenges to her, she steadfastly pushed forward, never complaining, and persisted by going for walks whenever she could with her walking sticks, and later with her walker. <br> <br>Friends are invited to visit at the Pinecrest Visitation Centre, 2500 Baseline Road, Ottawa on Thursday, July 27, from 4pm-6pm and 7pm-9pm, and Friday, July 28, from 4pm-6pm and 7pm-9pm. A funeral service will take place at the Britannia United Church, 985 Pinecrest Road, Ottawa on Saturday, July 29, at 10am. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. <br></div>
