Heather Norris succumbed to her battle with dating abuse, violence, and manipulation in April of 2007 when her on-again, off-again boyfriend brutally took her life from us. Heather always dreamed of helping people. She believed that she was placed on this Earth with the purpose of fulfilling a life that would help make the world a better place. She was a care-free, loving, family-oriented spirit t
hat will forever live on through the efforts of this organization. Since Heather's tragic passing, not one moment has gone by in which Debbie did not feel a need to live her life through Heather's voice, helping educate and advise individuals all over in the fight against domestic violence. She has made numerous appearances to high schools and universities across the state of Indiana to speak about the past experiences with Heather and the violence and manipulation she was exposed to, the grief it has caused to those that knew and loved Heather and those that did not and were still touched from afar, and the new life she lives that will forever revolve around HV. She has appeared on the Dr. Phil show, as well as been invited to speak at national conferences in New Orleans, LA, Washinton, D.C., and Portland, OR. Through Debbie's passionate and philanthropic efforts, Heather's Voice has also partnered with many organizations in efforts to fight domestic violence, including the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Network. In these efforts, Heather's voice and spirit lives on. The people who loved Heather will never live the same life. Her family and friends will never see the world the same. Debbie will remain forever changed and live a life THAT IS HEATHER'S VOICE. Heather was right, she would fulfill a life that made a difference and changed the world.
