Obituary For Heather Janice (Jan) Rutledge
The family of Heather Janice (Jan) Rutledge is sad to announce her death on October 18, 2020. She was 73 years of age. Heather was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia. She grew up in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia but lived most of her adult life in Halifax. She fought many battles over the years with complicated health issues. Nonetheless, she still had a zest for life and her spirited nature was well known to her family and many friends. No one was a stranger. Her lively spirit and unique sense of humour was loved by many.
Heather had a long career as a hair stylist. She was a colour and corrective technician with Jhirmack Educational Division travelling extensively. She was an independent stylist with various salons, as well as, owning her own salon in Lower Sackville for a number of years. Many of her clients over the years became dear friends. Her clients were everything to her and she so valued and appreciated their years of loyality and friendship.
She is survived by her daughter Mimi (Todd) Murray; son Chico (Amanda) Francis, four grandchildren; brother Greg (Donna) Rutledge; sister Leanne (Charles) Burchell; nephew Tyler (Kim) Rutledge; niece Tara Rutledge. Two great nephews, Jackson and Gabe. She was predecessed by her parents Eric and Harriet Rutledge (Stockley).
Sadly, due to the Covid-19 restrictions and for the safety of those who loved her, a celebration of life will not be held. A private internment will be held at a future date.
Donations can be made to Diabetes Canada, Nova Scotia Division, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia, the QEII Foundation or any charity of your choice.
