It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our loving mother, HEATHER ANNE DODDRIDGE, of Lethbridge, at the Chinook Regional Hospital surrounded by family, on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 at the age of 80 years.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: Adele Votary (Paul) and Stephan Doddridge (Joy); grandsons: Kyle, Russell, Kaden, and Stephen; granddaughters: Anna, Chloe, and Eunice; great-grandchildren: Tay-Lynn and Lilly; and her loving brother, Robert Sanders (Lucy); as well as many extended family and friends. Heather will also be dearly remembered by the many friends she made at St. Therese Villa in Lethbridge.
Heather was predeceased by her father Robert Sanders and mother Nellie Kirby.
Her life was a balance between raising her children as a single mother and building a career at the Lethbridge Research Center for 27 years. Once she retired, she enjoyed her days playing crib, gardening, making delicious foods, while sharing laughter and time with loved ones.
A special thank you to the compassionate healthcare professionals of Chinook Regional Hospital and St. Therese Villa.
To honour Heather's last wishes, there will be no funeral service.
If family and friends so desire, in Heather's memory and in honour of her lifelong battle with MS, memorial contributions may be made to the MS Society (mscanada.ca) in lieu of flowers.

We miss you. You were an amazing person with a kind and gentle soul, always willing to lend an ear over day-old coffee. I am blessed to carry on your legacy through your granddaughter Chloe who shares your birthday. I take solace in knowing you are now our angel. We love you and can't wait to see you in Heaven. Give Jesus a big hug for us!!
Adele and all of Heathers' Family--Please know that my deepest sympathy is with you at this sad time of your lives. We worked together at the Research Station and maintained a friendship for a time after my retirement. I always enjoyed your Mom. She was a good friend in many ways. Condolences----Maxine Richards
Stephen and family. We are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a hard working woman and loved her family very much. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
