Obituary of Elizabeth A Heft

Elizabeth A. Heft of White Township, NJ passed away peacefully on May 14, 2021, at the Hunterdon Care Center in Flemington, NJ. She was 87. Born February 14, 1934 in Lynbrook, NY to the late Abram and Grace (Hanson) Henderson (later Martin), Bette attended Hampton High School and lived most of her life in Glen Gardner, NJ, where she once served as the Tax Collector. While also employed by restaurants like the Rustic Retreat and Hilltop Deli, Bette devoted herself to her family and spent most of her time as a homemaker. Bette was pre-deceased by her husband, Richard Heft Sr., in 2003. She is survived by her children: Richard Heft, Jr., and his wife Roseanna, Steve, and his wife Ann, Jeffrey, and his wife Ria, Jennifer Schwartz and her fiancé John Dumschat, and Jason Cahill and wife Kelly, as well as two brothers, Richard and William Henderson, eleven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Bette is also pre-deceased by her longtime later-in-life companion, Richard Apgar, who passed in 2018. An avid bowler, a skilled and tenacious cardplayer, and a worthy opponent at horseshoes, Bette loved cruises and bingo, Beanie Babies and baking, and Easter weekend with the whole family. She enjoyed watching golf and Nascar and any other sport on TV, and watching her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren doing just about anything. She was a good friend and a generous soul and will be missed by many. Family and friends may pay their respects on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 from 10 AM – 12 PM at the Warren Hills Memorial Home, 234 West Washington Ave., Washington NJ. Funeral services will be observed at 12:00 PM at the funeral home, with interment to follow at Musconetcong Valley Cemetery in Hampton, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bette's name to Hunterdon Hospice, 2100 Westcott Drive, Flemington, NJ 08822. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Warren Hills Memorial Home.
