Memorial Service for Heather Saaltink

A memorial service for Heather Saaltink will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 6:30 pm at the Avila Chapel at Lakehead University on Reaume Street.  Following the service, there will be an informal gathering at "The Study", which is located on the main campus, commencing at 8:00 pm.

All those who knew Heather are welcome to attend in celebration of Heather's life. In honouring Heather, it is asked that if you would like to share your thoughts and memories at this time, please email them to the Philosophy Department in care of gfikis@lakeheadu.ca to the Attention of Dr. Sacchetti-Dufresne.

Heather was a First Class Honours student in Philosophy, maintaining an A average, which is all the more impressive in light of her athletic activities. She was a strong and independent thinker interested <div">in Feminist philosophy, and a well-rounded human being who balanced work with play and made the very most of her university experience at Lakehead. Heather was a beautiful person, inside and out, and will be sorely missed by everyone lucky enough to have known her - including her professors in Philosophy and Women's Studies. 

A Heather Saaltink Memorial Award has been established and donations are being accepted by the Office of University Advancement or at the service.


Please feel free to pass on this information to others you know would like to contribute or attend.
