Born at Bradford, England, her art training was at the prestigious Slade School of Art. Trained as a painter in oil and watercolour, Healey produced a number of competent portraits and quality landscapes. Later she emigrated with a brother to London, Ontario. Local friendships developed with Eva Bradshaw, Caroline Farncomb and Albert Templar and she became an integral part of the city art scene. Her budding Canadian career was cut short by an early death.
