Hattie Lou Heavner

I have many fun memories of Hattie from the New Jersey Emerson Ward of the Church Of jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. She was always kind and gracious and enjoyed the many friends that she had in our congregation. She loved her kids and she definitely loved and missed Roy who predeceased her by too many years. My condolences to the family.

Hattie was a welcoming face when our family moved to New Jersey in the late 1980s. Being a young teen singing in the choir I soon came to know her and saw the ways she served soo many. She was always encouraging and had that signature smile beaming at me whenever she heard me sing or otherwise perform. When my Grandmother Hanna Bates moved in later, as a recent widow herself Hattie made sure she was welcomed and invited and included.
Hattie leaves us all better for having known her and having been influenced by her.

Will miss her knowing so many will be there for her
