The grieving parents of the woman who was killed in Charlottesville when a car rammed into a crowd of protesters said that she was a born do-gooder with a strong sense of right and wrong.
At the memorial service for Heather Heyer on Aug. 16, her father, Mark Heyer, spoke of a daughter who was passionate in what she believed and “hard not to love.”
“Her passion extended to her ideas,” Mark Heyer said. “She wanted to put down hate.”
Heather Heyer, 32, was a woman who would tell others what she thought, and let others know if she thought they were not being straight with her.
