Heather Lynn Cooper

I started seeing Heather at Cumberland two years ago. Leaving out the details, I had my own struggles even getting into the clinic to participate in the treatment that I needed for health reasons. Without fail every single time Heather was there to hold my hand and take the time to get me through the experience. I saw her in early October and we had a great deep conversation about our own personal journeys. She was so welcoming and lovely always! I didn't get a chance to know her as well as the rest of you but gosh darn, I won't ever forget her. She embodied integrity, truth an kindness. Thoughts and hugs and warmth to everyone grieving this beautiful human. ❤️

To Joy and Heather's children. It is so sad to hear of Heather passing away death is never easy judy cherish all the wonderful memories you hold dear. I knew Heather from Bethel youth group and camping at young group. She is a very special R.I.P Heather hugs love and prayers

Joy and Heather's daughters: Deepest condolences to all. There are no words that convey the sorrow I feel at this time. I just know you three women are Heather's very special girls. I have memories of Heather at church youth group. Many years ago. I also have memories of Kyra and Karissa when they were younger at Mc Donald's. My memories may be old but they are lined with solid gold. From my heart Joy. Agape always.

Joy and family Sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter Heather. Also the loss of a mother and best friend to her daughters. Thinking about you and praying for everyone in Heather's family.

Heather was an amazing woman. She brought warmth, love and life to everyone she met. She cared and loved for her daughters more than humanly possible, but that was only possible because of how big and strong of a heart she had. I feel so grateful to have gotten the opportunity of meeting her, and making many memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. I'm so sorry that she was so cruelly taken before her time. Her legacy will live on through her daughters who share the same glow and attention grabbing aurora that Heather had. May you rest in peace.

Heather was a HUGE ray of light at the YMCA and never ever had a bad bone in her body. I will always remember Heather as someone who had such an infectious energy and a very giving personality, her clients loved her and I know the staff did too. To the family, it was a true pleasure getting to know all of you. Thank you for teaching me two of the most valuable lessons in life, never apologize for being yourself, and to always always choose kindness. Sending lots of love to you all and my condolences

Condolences to all of Heather's family. She is fondly remembered. We shared many days of our youth together with her in Wallaceburg. May you sense God's peace and calmness of his Spirit.

Heather, you and your family will always hold a special place in my heart. I will miss our big bear hugs and your genuine smile. Kyra and Karissa, you girls were the heart and soul of your mom's life. Always remember with the happiest of beautiful memories. Sending love and hugs. XO Love Candy

Joy, Kyra, Karissa and Rick I met Heather at Cumberland and indeed she made me look and feel beautiful! We would pick up where we left off and we would talk about you girls, and our love lives which included how kind and caring you are Rick and other things that were occurring in our lives (buying homes and seafood meals). As you all know, she made a difference; she made you smile and laugh, and you would leave feeling better after speaking with her, she was beautiful inside and out. I am not a person who is a "hugger" but I sure am glad we always hugged goodbye! I am so very sorry for your loss! I too will miss her tremendously! Until we meet again Heather!

So sorry to hear of Heather’s passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed by all. God Bless.

My deepest condolences go out to Jon, Kyra, Karissa and Joy. No words can ease your pain, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. I worked with Heather for 15 years and she always made the days fun. She was a talented and dedicated individual who always made her clients feel at ease. She will be sadly missed by many. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I was so fortunate to work with Heather for over a year at the YMCA. I was instantly drawn to her energy, warmth and down to earth personality the moment I met her and knew I had to have her on our Fitness team. Her clients and the members in her classes raved about her vast fitness knowledge and her fun approach to wellness. I have had countless people tell me how much Heather helped them both physically and mentally. She was a true gift and will be so greatly missed by her YMCA family. Sending my love and condolences.

Thank you for the beautiful memories. Steve, Zach, Ben, and I are forever grateful. You touched our hearts in so many ways. Love you dear friend❤️.

Heather was my friend and music teacher .during our youth at Bethal Tabernacle church . She allows gravitated to strays and outcasts like me to make us feel loved and wanted . We shared the love of music together . Until time and life drew us apart . I hope she is with Jesus blowing the horns of Zion , I hope to join her one day so we can play together once again This world is alittle colder now without her here . R.I.P my friend until we meet again .

Thanks for all the good moment we had during my visits in Canada and the beautiful moment in New York and Les contamines… we will never forget! You will stay in our thoughts. Rest in peace Thierry, Valerie,Chloe and Mathis

John, Kyra, Karissa and Joy, What sad news this is. Sadly, we lost touch with Heather quite a few years ago. When we knew her she was such a bright light: charming with a sprinkle of sass. I remember when Heather and John came to our house to teach Rick how to highlight my hair. We were laughing so hard, it's a surprise the hair turned out at all. Heather was a warm and generous host, so good at bringing people together - the Christmas parties and pig roasts - so many laughs. I also remember when I was in hospital struggling with symptoms that the doctors hadn't sorted out. When Heather visited me, she figured out the problem and went straight to the nurse's desk to give them her thoughts. She was right (and may have saved my life). Kyra and Karissa, you won't remember us, but I remember when you were born. Your mom was so proud and excited. She loved you girls so much. We will be thinking of you in the next difficult days and as you move forward. Wishing you God's peace and comfort in your memories.

We are so very sorry Joy and family and are sending prayers, love and hugs to you through this very tragic time.

Deepest condolences, I pray that god will gives Rick and family the strength to see through this sad and very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Our deepest condolences go to Joy and her entire family. In this time of loss, may you find strength in the love and support of those around you. Let cherished memories bring you comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this very difficult time.

IHeather treated me at Cumberland. Not only did she dramatically improve my skin and my self esteem, she went way above and beyond talking to me, caring about me and lovingly supporting me with some personal issues id talk about during my appts with her. She helped me more than she knew.. An undeniably genuine loving caring soul. I'll miss you.

Heather my friend, the life adventures we went through together were epic at times, right?! I am going to miss you so very, very much. To Heather's family members; you all have sustained a great loss; please accept my heartfelt condolences. Words are inadequate.

Dear Jon, Kyra, Karissa and Joy. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you all at this very sad time. I worked with your mom for many years. She was a very talented and intelligent individual. She loved both you ‘girlies’ soooo very much. Sharing news about your accomplishments and shenanigans was one of her favourite topics. You brought limitless joy, meaning and love to her life. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sincerely From. Nancy Lee.

When I would go to see Heather at the clinic it was always like visiting an old friend. We would talk about our families and have some laughs. I will miss Heather very much. My thoughts and prayers to her family at this time.

I am so sorry for this impactful loss to all of you. I hope that your joyful memories will sustain you as you travel this difficult journey together.

It has been a number of years since we’ve seen Heather. Merle saw her a few years ago and remembered her beautiful smile. We are so sorry to hear of her passing and will be praying for her mother, Joy, and for her entire family!
