A memorial service for Marblehead mom and Celtics Vice President of Public Relations Heather Walker has been set for Friday, May 5 at Eastern Yacht Club from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Walker, who passed away last week, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer, in July 2021. She spent 17 years with the Celtics organization and helped raise more than $645,000 for glioblastoma research through the “Move 4 Heather” campaign.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “Move 4 Heather” campaign or the education fund for her two daughters, Sammy and Taylor.
