Dea (Dianne) Heron 1948-2008
Dea appeared to have passed away in her sleep, with a book in her hand, on Aug 11, 2008.
She was a lovely person; intelligent, kind, with a wicked sense of humour, and even though I hadn't had the chance to know her well, I thought of her often. While she wasn't the first to introduce me to the world of textile arts, she was one of the people who first encouraged me to take it up again, which eventually led me into being a textile artist professionally. She was also the one to introduce me to the scaryscary world of fibre and needlework shows. Ten+ years later I still haven't used all the yarn I got that day....

I'm sorry for your loss. We've lost a couple of folks in our model railroad group recently who I didn't know well, but they influenced me in the hobby. Best wishes,
