BARRY, HEATHER PROUDFOOT While shorter than it should have been, Heather felt she led a full life. A wonderful childhood rambling over the sands and rocks at the cottage, close to 20 years in the profession she lovedand looking after her own family and children. Despite her illness she still managed to pull off the best Halloween parties in the neighborhood, our regular Christmas traditions and our Valentines chocolate fondue parties. She was always quick with a get-well note or basket of food for anyone else going through tough times. And her smile..oh, that smile,continued to light up a room until the very end. Heather is survived by her husband Art Barry, sons Michael and David at home, her parents Jim and Jean Proudfoot of New Glasgow and brothers Frank (Tara), Kendall (Jenny) and Jim (Janet). She is also survived by her wonderful nieces and nephews.and oldest and dearest friend Barb. Heather would like to thank her many friends and neighbors who rushed to her side when needed. Every card, every note, every little package meant a great deal. Heather's ashes will be scattered in the waters of Chance Harbour in Pictou County.
