Heather Ellen Lariviere (nee Floyd)

Heather was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. She was raised North of Moose Jaw, (Bellbeck) on a farm by her parents, John and Marjorie (Powell) Floyd along with her brother, John “Jack”.

She attended Carmel School; a one room school, until she moved to Moose Jaw to live with her Aunt. There she attended the Convent Of Sion or Sion Academy. Later she would attend Moose Jaw Tech or as it is now known as A.E. Peacock Collegiate.

Heather raised her 5 children in Moose Jaw, who are now left to grieve; Larry, with his son Cody of Caroline, AB; Cathy (Mike) Williamson of Airdrie and their two sons, Taylor, and Graham (Carolyn) Williamson with their three sons; Kevin, her middle son of Airdrie; Coral of Calgary with her son Kaiden; and Kirby also from Calgary, her youngest son and his daughter. She was Predeceased by her parents John and Marjorie Floyd.

She was a proud member of AA. This May she would have celebrated her 53rd year of sobriety. She helped many on their roads to recovery, never faltered on her duty to help others, always had a pot of coffee going and a big book on hand.

She was a pseudo mom to many people, she wore it as a badge of honour and would take in anyone to help them out. Our house was hardly ever empty. She loved the holiday season, worked very hard to make everyone happy.

She worked different jobs throughout her life; with the one that I think she loved the most being homecare around Calgary. She loved her clients and just making sure they all had what they needed to be comfortable in their homes.
