Heather Dianne Cutten
Date of Death: June 23, 2022
Tribute
Heather Dianne Cutten, nee Eisan, passed away on the 23rd of June, at the Victoria General Hospital after a short and unexpected illness. She passed peacefully with her husband and two daughters by her side.
Heather (Nana) leaves a huge hole in the hearts of her entire family and friends who benefited from her kindness and compassion. Heather was born on May 3rd, 1944 in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Norman and Lillian Eisan and was one of seven children. Heather is survived by her sister Rosalie Dyer and her many nieces and nephews.
Heather married her life-long partner of 55 years, Mark Cutten on October 14, 1967 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Their journey together took them from Nova Scotia to Trinidad, Winnipeg, St.Lucia, Calgary and finally Salt Spring Island, BC. Along the way, they had three children David (Patricia), Laura (Alejandro) and the baby Sara. She was blessed with five grandchildren, Isabella, Olivia, Joshua, Iliana and Madeline, whom she loved dearly and shared a unique and special relationship with each.
After raising her children, and at the age of 70, Heather studied and was ordained as a Deacon of the Anglican church. She was tremendously proud of this accomplishment and touched the lives of many more and offered years of community service and outreach.
Heather (Nana) will be truly missed and never forgotten for she left a mark on all of us.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Salt Spring Island, October 1st, 2022 at 2pm at All Saints by the Sea.

We were saddened to hear of the unexpected passing of our dear friend Heather of more than 40 years. We new Heather for her kindness and humour in both Calgary, as our families grew up, and later on Vancouver Island. She will be missed. Our thoughts are with Mark and the family.

Mrs. Cutten exuded class and grace in the way she treated others. I will always remember her generosity toward my family and she leaves a big hole in our extended family. She is at peace.

From: Patricia Cutten
Relation: Daughter in law
Mark, Laura and Sara, my sincerest condolences. Heather was a wonderful wife, mother, Nana and woman. Will always remember her for welcoming me into your family. She was always available for guidance and knowledge for me, our family and community. My favourite moments with her are when she told stories of growing up in Halifax, travels to Europe in her youth and living in Trinidad/Caribbean. Forever grateful to her for raising David and teaching him to cook. You will always live on in our hearts.

Jim and I wish to say how sad we are to hear this news. We are so grateful to have known Heather and enjoyed our nights playing darts with her and Mark. I loved her sense of humour and how compassionate and grounded she was. She always talked with such pride about her family and hope you will accept our condolences.

More than just a MIL, Heather was a friend that always answered the phone and had time to solve the world’s problems with me. She shared not only her words and advice but years of wisdom. She was a kindred soul. RIP.

My grandmother was a selfless and compassionate individual who possessed so much joy and merriment that will reside in me forevermore. Her influence is something I am grateful for and now inspires me to show love to others.

Dear Mark and family; our prayers are with you you at this time. We remember Heather fondly, from the times we met her here and also at Holy Nativity in Calgary. We hear that you will be moving away from SSI to be closer to your family. We will miss our occasional meetings with both of you here on SSI.
Farewell, Heather and Godspeed.

Recordado Marck, Laurita, Sara y David; quiero expresarles mi dolor por tan irreparable pérdida de la Esposa, madre y amiga Heather tuve el honor de conocerla en Quito; ella no sabía español y yo no hablaba ingles pero no fue impedimento para conversar. Un gran recuerdo que tengo de ella es que en nuestra estadía en Quito preparó un plato de pollo al curry…….tuve la suerte de comer un Manjar preparado por ti…..
Love you Heather..
