Heather's acting career was cut short by an automobile accident in December 1947, in which she was thrown from her car onto the pavement and suffered severe facial lacerations.[1]

Heather attended Oregon State University, 1940–41. She transferred to the University of Washington in 1942. She was an initiate of the Alpha Theta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at the University of Washington.[2]

Heather married United States Military Academy graduate Arthur Ferdinand Meier on July 5, 1944, in Glendale, California. While at West Point, Meier was captain of Army's golf team, but after Pearl Harbor, his chest X-rays revealed lung scarring from childhood influenza, rendering him unfit for further military service. Meier later became a corporate executive. After 41 years of marriage with Heather, Meier died in 1985 from pulmonary disease.[3] Heather died ten years later. Both were cremated and their ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean.^{[citation needed]}
