Obituary for Heather Ann Horton
Heather Horton
(nee Bell)
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our mother Heather Ann Horton, peacefully at home, on August 30, 2013, at 71 years old.
Heather will be lovingly remembered by her children, Brent (Michelle), and Brenda (Allan) MacLean, grandsons Sydney and Maximillian, sister Sheila Paton and niece Miranda Paton, both of British Columbia. Also mourning her loss are many close friends who Mum loved and cherished.
Heather worked as an Executive Secretary for RBC for 25 years before retiring in 1999. She was very fond of her work and those she worked with. Although she was dedicated to her career she was definitely a woman who worked to live. She had a wonderfully full life and was active in sports, travel, and the community.
Keeping fit, healthy, and active was important to Mum. She was an avid curler her entire life and also golfed, lawn bowled, and participated in yoga for many years. She made many friendships as a member of the Fort Rouge Curling Club, enjoyed annual bonspiel trips to Shilo and Grafton, and participated in the MLCA for 20 years. When there was no ice in sight she turned to golf and lawn bowling. Golfing with girlfriends was a favourite pastime and she looked forward to tournaments state-side. She was also a passionate sports spectator, especially her grandson?s events.
For 42 years, Mum lived in her cozy ?cottage? in St. Vital. She was a well-loved neighbour who will be missed. Although she loved her home, Mum was a keen traveller. Some of her travelling highlights include numerous trips to Mexico, bi-annual trips to BC to visit friends and family, backpacking through Europe with her son, a Mum-and-Daughter trip to Italy, and most recently a trip to Disney World with grandkids.
Heather was an active volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation, as well as in amateur sports and politics.
The family wishes to thank Drs. Wong and Vergis, Nurse Alana and the team at CancerCare St Boniface, the medical team at 6E St Boniface Hospital, and Nurse Shannon and the Palliative Care team. We would particularly like to thank Mum?s ?bestest? friend Barb Lloyd for being there, day or night, for the past 50 years.
Heather?s kind heart, warm smile, and sparkling eyes will be missed by all who knew her.
A celebration of life will be held at the Unitarian Church, 603 Wellington Crescent, Wednesday, September 11 at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.
