Heather Jean Brodie died suddenly at home on October 21, 2026, at the age of 80.

Born in Vancouver on January 10, 1946 to Clarence and Audrey Middal, Heather grew up in the city but made a home in several communities throughout her married life, including Vancouver, Trail, Victoria and Surrey. She married John Buchan Brodie on January 6, 1968 while John was completing his Engineering studies at UBC.

Heather was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, remembered by family and friends for her sweet nature, generous spirit and the care she showed to those around her.

Heather was predeceased by her younger brother, Lance, who served as a Vancouver City police officer. She will be most lovingly remembered by her husband, John; her sons, Craig in Surrey and Mark (Yayoi) in Richmond; and her four grandchildren, Spencer, Hana, Alex and Lance, all of Richmond.

Funeral services will be private. Those wishing to honour Heather’s memory are invited to make a donation to a charity of their choice
