Heather Hercules — born in the small, yet beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Canada, was a fiercely strong and independent woman. Heather made a name for herself by impacting many lives, whether it'd be with her bold and humorous personality, her 'spicy' cooking, her eloquence with words, or her expressive style — she always found a way to be unapologetically herself, and showed adequate pride in her abilities despite life’s challenges.


Heather leaves behind three sons, whom she often referred to as her "Three Kings". Their names, Jaden, Jovante, and Jamal. Heather also leaves behind her father (Lincoln) and sister (Ruth), and many other family members and close friends and co-workers who can attest to Heather's strengths and unique presence as a person.


Heather was honest, daring, and shared a passion for her Caribbean culture, but also a deep love and understanding for the people she cared about. Heather often extended her support for family members or neighbour’s in need, often neglecting her own spirit and physical health for the assistance of others. Heather was a treasured woman with so much more life to give, but was taken too soon, too quickly, by her health.

Today, we honour the short, but incredible life of Heather Hercules and the legacy she leaves behind.
