Mary Hettie Obituary

Hettie, Mary H. ALBANY Mary Helen Gordon Hettie entered into eternal life on August 14, 2011. She was 86 years old. Mary was a gentle, humble lady of great faith who devoted her life to her family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, George, and her cherished daughter, Mary Anne. Mary is survived by her remaining children, Carol Clarke, Jim Hettie (Mari Bennett), George Hettie Jr. (Chris), and Emily Parisi (Peter); and by her adored grandchildren, George Anthony Hettie, Kassandra Parisi, Gabrielle Hettie, and Judson Parisi. We will miss her warm smile and joyful laughter.

Dear Hettie family, My sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. Mrs. Hettie was always kind to me when I stopped to pick up Mary Anne. She was a kind, loving person who always made me feel welcome. I will not be able to be at the mass on Wednesday because I am obligated to be at a funeral mass at the Cathedral at the same time. Your mother and your family will be in my prayers.
Sincerely, Mary Jane Kretzler
