HEATHER TURNEY
(née YOUNG)
November 2, 1948 - August 29, 2023
Heather loved Kildonan Park as a child with her sibling and cousins and even up until she passed she would never turn down a drive through the park every Sunday. This fund will go towards a memorial bench in a place she loved along with a plaque for others to learn how truly amazing Heather will always be to us.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Heather on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at the age of 74. Remaining to forever cherish Heather's memory are her loving husband Dennis; her children, Shane (Stacey) and Charlene (Andrew); stepchildren, Tannis (Trevor) and Angelina (Myles); grandchildren, Chelsey (Jay), Jonnie (Matt), Shelby, Eric, Madison, Kennedy, Ariana, Carter and Josh; great-granddaughter Kylie; sister Charlene (Steve), brothers, Kelly and Scott; niece Kathy; great-nieces, Mercedes, Taylor, and Heather, and innumerable cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Harold and Ruth, and her brother Timmy. Born and raised in the North End of Winnipeg, Heather was the eldest of five children. She remained close with her parents, even living next-door to them on Saint Cross Street for many years. She later moved to St. James with her family where she remained for the rest of her life. Heather and Dennis met as teenagers but reconnected and married later in life. They would have celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this New Year's Eve. Dubbed "The Lube Queen" (and rightly so), Heather managed the Super Lube on Portage Avenue for over 35 years. She took pride in going to work every day and did so up until very recently. She knew all of her customers by first name and would often make the 10-minute oil change turn into 30, because she simply had to catch up with them. Her management style was all support, with a dash of structure, and an incredible sense of belonging! Many of her co-workers and employees became lifelong friends, and some even more like family. She will be sorely missed by her long-time staff, Joey, Dallas, John, Doug, Wilfred, and many more. To say her presence will be missed in the community is an understatement. Heather loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, all of whom she was extremely proud of. She never missed a birthday or Christmas and spared no expense with her gift giving and generosity to those around her. Heather loved the simple things, like trinkets from the dollar store or spending endless hours doing crafts. Her unique way of telling stories and sense of humour will be cherished and missed by all. Whether you knew her as "The Lube Queen" or "Grandma Super Lube, everyone was "Dear" to her. She will be missed greatly, but not forgotten. A celebration of Heather's life will be held at a later date. "Gray skies are gonna clear up Put on a happy face"
