Heather Bostian, age 42, passed away on October 6, 2020 in her home in Annapolis, MD. She was born on October 31, 1977 to Richard and Carol (Hooper) McKelvie of Annapolis. She graduated from Annapolis High School in 1995, and attended AACC with a 4.0 GPA. Heather married David Bostian in 1995. They were to celebrate their 25th anniversary in December.

She was active in the band, yearbook, art scene, and played ice hockey during high school. She loved music (especially the Grateful Dead), knitting, scrapbooking, and reading.
