Harriet Amy Hettrick (nee Drake) 1941 — 2015

Harriet Amy Hettrick (nee Drake)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Harriet Hettrick. Mom passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 19, 2015 at the age of 73. She was the eldest of three children, and was born on December 7, 1941 to her parents, Harry and Julia Drake. Mom was predeceased by our Dad, Alfred Jerry Hettrick in 1997. Mom and Dad were married in 1961 and moved from Saskatchewan to BC in 1963, and settled in Kamloops in 1966. In 1971, we built a cabin on property purchased at an area lake. Many weekends were spent there as a family. Mom loved fishing and the spectacular views that this recreation provided. In her earlier years, sewing was an avid pastime. Mom enjoyed setting puzzles and spending time in her flower gardens. Mom enjoyed collecting knickknacks and her latest fondness was for hummingbirds. After raising her family, Mom’s greatest passion was being an Avon representative. She dutifully fulfilled this passion for approxiamately 40 years. She received numerous awards and accolades for her achievement as a representative. She loved the company of her customers, many of which became close friends.

Mom’s warm and caring nature will be missed by all who knew her.

Harriet is survived by her sister Merle (Harvey) Hettrick, brother Ted (Ethel) Drake, son Raymond Hettrick, daughter Anna Marie Randles, granddaughter Vanessa (Matt) Randles, grandson Jarrett Randles, and countless others. A Celebration of Harriet’s life will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 11:00 am in the Salvation Army Chapel, Poplar St., Kamloops BC.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.

    I wish to express our condolences to Harriet’s family for her passing. She was my mother’s Avon lady and when Mom passed away I maintained the connection. She was like a family member.

    Harriet was thoughtful and extremely trustworthy. We will miss her.
