We Remember

HOUSTON, Heather

January 25, 1942 — July 1, 2023

Heather Houston, a beloved wife, grandmother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on July 1st, 2023, leaving behind cherished memories and a void in the hearts of all who knew her. She was surrounded by the love of her family in her final moments.

Heather was born on January 25, 1942, in Vancouver BC. Heather’s devotion to her family was the cornerstone of her life. She married her other half, Terry Houston in 1959, and they embarked on a lifelong journey filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures. Their union was a shining example of commitment and devotion, weathering the storms of life with unwavering strength and love.

Heather was a loving and nurturing mother to her two daughters, who meant the world to her. She was their source of unwavering support, always ready with a listening ear and sage advice. Her warmth and kindness extended beyond her immediate family, as she opened her heart and home to friends and neighbours, making everyone she knew feel welcome and loved.

As a grandmother, Heather brought unlimited joy to her grandchildren’s lives. She loved nothing more than spending time with them, creating cherished memories that will be treasured forever. Whether it was baking cookies, teaching them to sew, or simply being there to offer a comforting hug, Heather’s love and presence were felt in every moment they shared with her.

Heather’s unexpected passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will continue to inspire those she left behind. She is survived by her devoted husband, Terrance Houston, her daughters Felena (Dan), and Virginia (Peter);10 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.

Heather will forever be remembered for her kindness, her gentle spirit, and the love she shared with all who knew her. Her memory will continue to inspire, reminding us to cherish our loved ones and embrace life’s precious moments.

To know her was to love her.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
