Heather Wilkinson will be celebrated at a public memorial service in regional Victoria, close to two months after she died from suspected mushroom poisoning.
Heather Wilkinson, 66, was one of four people who ate beef wellington at Erin Patterson’s Leongatha home, in the state’s southeast, on July 29.
Ian Wilkinson, 68, also became critically ill after the lunch, spending close to two months in Austin Hospital. Police believe the symptoms the four diners experienced were consistent with being poisoned by death cap mushrooms. She was interviewed by police and released without charge but has since faced intense media scrutiny.
