Julian Soler I am so very sad to hear about Heather. She and I had dated back in her NYC days and remained close from then on. When she moved to San Francisco, she always found time to catch up when I visited. This photo was taken this past Spring, the last time I saw her in SF. She had a terrific sense of humor and was always great fun to be around. I will miss her sorely. Julian Soler

Barb Evason I was very saddened to hear about Heather’ losing her battle with cancer. My daughter Kim and Heather met 25 plus years ago in med school and became fast friends. They both pursued medicine and Kim also doing research for pancreatic and liver cancer at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Utah. . Hopefully to be able to detect cancer in early stages. I have made a donation to the Huntsman Cancer Institute to fund research for pancreatic cancer in memory of Heather. Barb Evason

jaya kothule Our deepest condolences for your loss. I was introduced to Heather by my colleague and friend. Lindsey Jardine. Heather was a true delight we did not get to meet in person and I regret that. We spoke on phone number of times. She was an extremely positive person and she would talk energetically and with joy she would immediately feel the person welcomed and loved. She would make that person feel welcomed and even if it was your first time talking to her she would make that person feel as if we have known each other from a long time. .I am certain Heather is an angel and watching over her family and friends and loving caring, supporting and guiding people . Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time Wishing you comfort and peace in the days ahead.🙏🏽🙏🏽 (Jaya, and Sanjay)

Mark Smith Heather was a very special light on the world. We met in the east village of New York and developed a quick friendship over our shared love of silly dogs that are no longer with us. Chloe and Sunny are with Heather somewhere and I know all three of them are better for it. Heather you were a rock that calmed my hypochondriac soul in moments when I needed to be told that my scraped knee was in fact not cancer. You always answered my calls and you spent time to learn about my life on a meaningful level that made me feel safe and loved. I will.miss you. The world and me are less safe without you.

Andrea Ruiz Auntie Feather. You showed me how to enjoy life to the fullest. I always think of you as an example of a person who enjoys life at the fullest while also bringing love to family and friends. I remember you showed me around when I first came to Seattle and made me feel so welcomed and part of the family when I was so new here. May you keep climbing mountains and smiling. Te quiero mucho Auntie Feather.

Lois Pyanowski I wanted to share a story about the amazing Dr. Heather Mahoney, who I was honored to call a friend. During Hurricane Sandy my house in Rockaway Beach, NY was devastated. Heather let me, my husband and 2 cats stay with her in her apartment in Brooklyn for a couple of weeks even though she had a dog. While we were there my husband had an infection in his foot that was getting worse. Heather looked at it and operated on in him in her bathroom immediately. She also wrote me a prescription for an epi pen since mine got washed away. And I had unknowingly eaten something that I was allergic to. Heather wanted to help Rockaway in some way so she gathered a group of fellow doctors and led them door to door, offering medical care and ensuring people had the medications they needed to survive. She showed up and saved lives. That’s what Heather did and who she was. Once she told me how important it is to “just show up” for people. Even if they say they’re ok. She always showed up for everyone. I plan on paying that forward. I loved her a lot. She was an incredible woman. Photo shown at a Speakeasy in NYC drinking “tea”.

Jonathan van de Leuv I was a resident and Heather was one of my mentors at Bellevue. The emergency department there was such a chaotic place and even in such a place with mayhem and examples of courage everywhere, she stood out so much. She was a shining example of bravery and a true role model. She saw me as a person and was always somebody I could relate to and work alongside as a friend. She was looked up to by all of us. She helped me as I moved to the West Coast after she did and continued to be a friend and advisor. All of my class from residency remember and love her very much. She will be dearly missed.

Amanda Doran Heather was such a fun and smart friend in high-school. I am not surprised to see her accomplishments in her professional life. She was definitely a go-getter. I'm glad she lived life to the fullest with all of her adventures around the world. It sounds like she touched many lives. Rest in peace.

Rob Wolpert Heather was always a source of warmth and joy. I vividly remember the day she came home as a newborn, as the entire neighborhood was ecstatic. As she grew, I often saw her playing in the front yard with her sister and their dogs, her laughter echoing through the air. Even as a young child, Heather was incredibly kind and sweet, radiating warmth to everyone she met. Her gentle spirit and playful energy made her a special presence in the family.

Annalee Baker Heather was a force of nature. She was my first APD and such a strong female physician role model in residency. Smart as hell, funny, warm and adventurous. I told Jeff I wanted to be Heather “when I grew up” and I stand by that statement. I’m sure she has as many if not more friends and found family in New York as she does in San Francisco and across the world. Sending Bellevue love from the class of 2014. ❤️ Annalee
