Heidi will also be forever remembered by her numerous nieces, nephews and extended family and dear friends. Heidi was predeceased by her sisters Leena and Tuula (Reijo).

Heidi was very adventurous and had a great passion for travel which brought her many, many friends over the years. Her infectious laugh and sense of humour, combined with her zest for life, are what made people instantly like her and want to become her friend and are what we will always miss about her.
