==Early life and education==
Heath was born in New York, graduating from The Putney School in 1939 and from Smith College in 1943. Heath first flew in a plane at age four, sharing an interest in flying with her older brother Royal. At Smith, Heath majored in education and child studies, wrote for the newspaper, played on the national women's lacrosse team, and was the president of the Smith College Flying Club. Prior to Heath's presidency, Smith Flying Club members learned about the theory of flying but not its practice. In 1941, Heath persuaded the fifteen other members of the Flying Club to purchase a plane for $100 each. Club members used this plane, which they painted black and christened "The Bird of Paradise," to practice flying at LaFleur Airport in Northampton, Massachusetts.〔Flying Club Papers, Smith College Archives, Northampton, MA.〕
