Jean Heffernan

Jean Heffernan is no longer with us and most would not have met or even heard of her. So how do we share with you who this person was, what she did for our sport and how she impacted others. Well perhaps there is no better way then through the words, feelings and images of her daughters.

They are also dedicated officials who have given much of their own lives to our sport mostly because their mother set a top quality example and maybe even expected them to also give back. They are Susan Heffernan and Helen Eddy.

So as part of getting to know Jean Heffernan we asked Susan and Helen about their mother and her involvement in our sport. Below you will see a series of questions which has a corresponding video of Susan and Helen speaking about their mothers special traits and service to the sport of Figure Skating.

Jean Heffernan was a quiet and strong leader who loved her work with the world of figure skating. The endless hours of quiet dedication and commitment to our sport provided a service of excellence of which we reconginize by her Induction into the Skate Canada BC Hall of Fame.
