September 30, 1953 – November 15, 2022

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Heather Charmaine Suttie, our beloved mother, nana, sister, and friend, passed away on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at age 69.

Heather began her career in catering and transitioned on to banking. Upon moving to Kamloops, Heather worked with Crown Counsel Victim Services. She later transferred to Probation, from which she retired in 2012. Heather greatly enjoyed travelling, especially with family and close friends. Among her most-loved destinations were Mexico and Hawaii. She was also a passionate crafter.

Heather’s skill at planning weddings, showers, and other events was unmatched. She was a wonderful hostess who excelled at entertaining. A party hosted by Heather was sure to last until the wee hours of the morning, with everyone’s drinks always full and no one leaving hungry.

Nothing was more important to Heather than family. She thrived when surrounded by her favourite people, particularly at the many reunions held over the years, where she could often be found happily dancing the night away.

Heather is survived by her sons Jason and Warren (Robyn), her grandchildren Sophia and Wyatt, her siblings Keith (Ilona), Deborah (Wayne), and Tammy (Gary), as well as their children and families. Heather was predeceased by her husband Richard, and her parents Walter and Isabel.

The family would like to extend its sincere gratitude to the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, who provided incredible care and compassion during Heather’s final weeks. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those who are able consider donating to hospice in honour of Heather’s memory. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 26, 2022, at 10:00am, at Schoening Funeral Service, with a tea to follow.
