Norman C. ‘Bud’ Hettrick 1947-2024

Norman was born Nov. 28, 1947, in Youngstown, a son of Cy and Louise Heckathorne Hettrick.

He was an auto mechanic for many years, retiring in 2015, and was a member of Coalburg United Methodist Church.

Bud enjoyed hunting, fishing, barbecuing and eating hamburgers, and loved spending time with his grandchildren.

He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his family: his wife, the former Linda D. Crandall, whom he married Aug. 25, 1984; daughters, Lisa (James) Taafe of Hubbard, Tara Smith of Hubbard; and stepson, Christopher Mayle of Ravenna; and 16 grandchildren, including Connor and Kennedy, whom he helped raise; and several great-grandchildren.

He also leaves his siblings, Laverne Hettrick of Hubbard, Bill Hettrick of Port Orange, Florida and Bob Hettrick of Westminister, Colorado.

Beside his parents, he was preceded in death by his sons, Norman “Buddy” Hettrick Jr., Daniel “Boone” Hettrick and Adam Hettrick; his brother, Eddie Hettrick; and sisters, Joan Gibson, Nancy Hettrick and Betty Johnson.

Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Northern Ohio Chapter, 425 Literary Road, Suite 100, Cleveland, OH 44113.

A graveside memorial service will be held at a later date.
