A. FINNEY Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald on Sep. 17, 2016.

FINNEY, Heather (nee Brown)
March 19, 1940 - Calgary, Alberta
September 11, 2016 - Calgary, Alberta
Heather Finney, loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer. Heather spent many years running a busy household and will always be remembered as the rock of our family. She was always there for us. Heather and Jim loved travelling. Trips to destinations throughout Canada, the United States and Europe together as well as our family vacations to Hawaii were great memories that always put a smile on her face. A hard working, dedicated business woman, Heather worked alongside Jim at Finney- Taylor Personnel for many years. She enjoyed her time at Reid Crowther and Royal Host Hotels. Heather liked meeting and visiting with people and held her friends in the highest regard. Heather is survived by her brother, Craig (Sheila); daughter, Karen (Barry); sons, Bradley and Jim Jr.; and grandchildren, Aislinn, Liam and James. Heather was predeceased by her parents, Iris and Gordon Brown; her daughter, Krista and her beloved Jim, husband of 43 years. A wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many, she will be missed. We love you so much Mum. A Celebration of Heather's life will be held at the CALGARY CREMATORIUM CHAPEL at the Queen's Park Cemetery (3219 – 4th Street N.W) on Monday, September 19, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Forward condolences through www.calgarycrematorium.com.

Karen and family, Bradley and Jim
It breaks my heart to hear of Auntie Heather's passing. Auntie Heather and Uncle Jim opened their home to me when I finished high school and wanted to spread my wings and fly. I worked at Finney Taylor Personnel with Krista for some of the best months of my life. Laughter was a big part of life for the Finney family. When your Mom and Dad were visiting Kelowna last I had the pleasure of seeing them at the Grand Hotel and your Mom was so glad that I came as just seeing me took Uncle Jim
back to the days of when Krista and I kept him on his toes. I'm feeling very fortunate right now for that visit. My Love to you all.

It doesn't seem real that Heather is no longer here and that I will not be getting a phone call or email from her. Heather and I worked together for a number of years. She was always so helpful and competent, to say nothing of how super smart she was. She was also a wonderful friend to me, then and in all the years since. I will miss her. My condolences to you, Karen,Brad and Jim. You were so fortunate to have her and in return, she was fortunate to have you.

I am so sorry to hear that your Mom passed away. She was so nice. I remember our family coming to your Prospect Avenue home on Christmas Eve (my dad was Santa Claus) to keep you kids believing. I was fortunate to deal with your Mom when she was at Royal Host which was a bonus for me. She was lovely. With sincere condolences. Rhonda Hutchings (nee McKay)

Your mom was so nice. Years ago our family used to come to your Mount Royal home on Christmas Eve (my dad was Santa Claus). His job was to keep you kids believing. I was fortunate to cross paths with her again when she worked at Royal Host. She was a lovely lady. I send you my condolences. Rhonda Hutchings (nee McKay)

Heather and I had many special times together. Our children knew each other and we spent time with them here in the Okanagan when they vacationed in Kelowna. We shared many good times, and life happenings. When we emailed or spoke on the phone - it was as if we had spoken yesterday. Such a friendship is a blessing.To you her children I give my love and condolences - what a lovely lady she was. I will always treasure her memory.
