Handy, Heather Ann
It is with immense heartache we share that our sweet and loving Heather Handy put her pain at ease and left us to rest peacefully early Sunday morning, surrounded by the love of her family at the Owen Sound Hospital on December 8th, 2019.
Born in Brampton, Ontario on September 14, 1942, she was a daughter of the late Fred and Lillian Davey.
Heather was the beloved wife of Harvey Handy who she recently celebrated 33 loving years of marriage with. She is the incredible mother to Geoff and Corinne Knight. In 1983 when Heather came into Harv’s life, together they merged and embraced a larger family unit including Ian Handy (Edward) and Carolyn Letourneau (Gil). Heather is the devoted and proud grandma to Zoe Letourneau, Quinton Letourneau, and Avery Chaplin. She is the middle child of 5 siblings, predeceased by Douglas Davey and Brenda Stewart. She is survived by Barbara Woods and Brian Davey. Heather was blessed to be the aunt to Christine Stewart, Ken Stewart, Cyndy Knapp, Bill Woods, Steven Woods, Kim Green, Fred Davey, Michael Davey and Rachel Davey. Heather will be sadly missed by the Handy family and by all of those who she has touched throughout her life. Love never ends.
A service celebrating Heather’s life will be conducted at Meaford United Church on Friday, December 13, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. with visiting the hour prior to service. There will be a time for refreshments and sharing memories of Heather in the fellowship hall following the service.
As your expression of sympathy, and in lieu of flowers, donations to Princess Margaret Hospital or the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation would be kindly appreciated and may be made through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford, ON N4L 1B9 to whom arrangements have been entrusted. www.fergusonguneralhomes.ca

I was so saddened to read of Heather’s passing. I have know Heather since the late 70’s when we were friends on Mountainview Rd. S. in Georgetown. We worked together for the Halton District School Board. My boys were friends with Geoff and spent many hours playing hockey on the rink their dad built.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very difficult time.

I met Heather in 1960 when I was living in Brampton. We had lots of fun going to parties and many weddings. I was one of Heather’s bridesmaids when she was married in Brampton.
A lovely person and always willing to help out, no matter what it was.
My sympathy to Harvey and the family.

I first met Heather in 1988 when I went to work at the North Education Centre for the Halton Board. The photo you have of Heather with her beaming smile is exactly how I remember her and will continue to remember her. She was a fun-loving and caring person who made the Centre a great place to work. Along with fellow employees – Shirley, Pat, Caroline and myself we made a point of keeping in touch after we retired. It was unfortunate that I was unable to get to Meaford recently, but kept in touch via email and phone calls. I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to Harvey and the family.
