Heather Rombough Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 5, 2010.
ROMBOUGH, Heather Marie (nee Nicolle) It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Heather, August 1, 2010. Heather was the soul mate and best friend of Dean, her husband of 27 years; devoted mother of daughters, Melissa and Dana. Heather was passionate about developing the creative skills of all, children in particular. Her storytelling skills, puppetry and wonderful ability to truly "listen" to one and all will be sorely missed. Besides her husband and daughters, also left to mourn are her mother, Pat; brothers, David (Carmen), Cameron (Anita); sisters, Trudy (Lyle), April (Craig); father and mother-in-law Len and Sandra Rombough; many special nieces, nephew, family and friends. Heather was predeceased by her father, Harvey Nicolle. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church (11811- 96 Street, Edmonton), on Friday, August 6, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers tributes may be made directly to WIN house (Edmonton Women's Shelter Ltd., P.O. Box 20088, RPO Beverly, Edmonton, AB T5W 5E6), or a charity of your choice. The family sincerely thanks Palliative Home Care Service and the members of the Sundance Housing Co-op for their loving support.

Dear Dean, Melissa & Dana,

I learned of Heather's passing only this morning, at the market, where I first met her and Dana several years ago.

Since then, we spoke whenever we met and finally she and her puppeteers came to our school to delight our students.

I am thankful that I met Heather, even though I knew her only through our Saturday morning shopping at the market and neighbouring stores. She was a beautiful soul and her smile lingers with me yet.

I am truly sorry that she could not be with her family and friends for many more years.

I only knew of Heather through Melissa, but from what I've heard she was a remarkable woman and a devoted wife and mother. I would like to offer my condolences to the family and let you know that my prayers are with you in this difficult time.

My deepest regards,

For Heather's Family,
I had the privilege of being with Heather at the Encircling Light Conference in Whitehorse and was with her shopping for the picture she so lovingly choose for you on our rainy, last day walk at the river. I will always remember her love for her family, warm friendship, and joy for life, Her smile lingers as she waved us all goodbye the last morning getting up before sunrise to do so.

With embracing sympathy,
@nn Finucane, Bethesda, Maryland

I learned of Heather's crossing of the threshhold while at the Goetheanum in Switzerland. I met Heather in Edmonton in July 2008 and then again at the Encircling Light Conference in Whitehorse in August 2009. She was and is a brave and generous human being. I am grateful to have known her in the last phase of her life.

Dear Dean and Family,

My heartfelt condolences to you on the passing of Heather. I knew her but a short time, but in that time Heather revealed great courage and compassion for others. We met in Whitehorse at the Conference.

Dear Heather's family,

My son had Heather as a Waldorf teacher. I was saddened to read she had passed away. We had conversations about theatre and puppetteering. It was a gift to watch her perform and connect with the children at Waldorf.

Her kindness and beautiful energy will never be forgotten.

Sincerely,

Kisa Mortenson, Joshua, Annika and John Davidge

We were so sorry to hear about your mom passing away. We remember lots of fun with both of you at the clearing near your house. And of course, all the wonderful puppet plays we watched her perform. Lots of people will remember her and smile. Big hugs to you and your sister and Dad. We're thinking about you all.

Heather was my cousin - her father and mine (Phil Nicolle) were brothers. My clearest memory of her was when my sister Shelley and I visited Harvey and Pat to try out the new mustang - it was about mid 60's, I think. She was very young, and laughing and a lot of fun! My sympathy to you and all her family at her untimely death.
