Heather Willson
May 24, 1946 — April 10, 2024
It is with great sadness that the family of Donna Heather Willson (Heather), Nee Fetherston, Nee Deane, 77 years old, of Millbay, BC, passed away on April 10th, 2024, after a brave fight with heart disease and failure.
Heather was born on May 24, 1946, to Edward and Helen Deane in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
After Heather graduated from Nutana High School she went on to study at Saskatoon City Hospital for Nursing where she graduated as an RN.
Heather married Doug Fetherston in 1967 and moved to Victoria, BC in 1980 where she continued nursing, working at the Sidney Personal Care Home.
Heather was predeceased by her husband Doug Fetherston who passed away in 1997.
In 2008 Heather met and fell in love with Owen Ross Willson. They shared 16 beautiful years together and were married in 2016.
Heather loved family gatherings, dancing and travelling with Owen, writing the best poems ever, and a good glass of wine with her friends and family. Heather’s friendships encompassed all aspects of life, and each was special to her. From phone call chats to joint family outings, to sharing informal and formal meals, and entertaining, to class reunions and to adventures near and far. Heather was up for it.
Heather will be deeply missed by her husband Owen, Brother Drew Deane and (Deb), Son Ken Fetherston and (Candace Brown), Stepson Brendan Willson and (Tracy), Daughter in law Audrey Willson and (Bob), and her grandchildren Hunter, Douglas, Caitlin, Hailey, Blaine and Larissa.
Heather’s passing comes as a great shock and is gravely felt by her entire family and the countless others who loved her deeply.
At Heather’s request, no service shall be held. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the British Columbia Heart and Stroke Foundation.
We love you always, and thanks for the memories. xoxo
