Avonlea.tv pays tribute to Jackie Burroughs who starred as matriarch Hetty King on the series Road to Avonlea. While other characters from the show were drawn from the works of Lucy Maud Montgomery, Hetty King was original, and Jackie's portrayal of the perfectly flawed school teacher garnered three Gemini awards during the series' seven year run.
Burroughs passed away on September 22, 2010.

    may you rest in peace

  • Wonderful Jackie Burroughs - we'll always remember you through our beloved Hetty King.

  • we love you Aunt Hetty :)

  • Road ot Avonlea is the best series . I will never forget you Aunt Hetty!!

  • Thank You!

  • I LOVE HETTY KING!

  • "I'll never forget the days of my youth. When the waves rippled between my toes, taking the pink and silver grains of sand back out to the depths of the sea. There was a peace then; an indescribable feeling of imortality in the ebb and flow of the tide, and the seemingly endless streatch of beach and sky. Now as I gaze out upon those same sparkling waters, I realize that youth is never left behind, but is carried always, gently, in the heart." -Hetty King

  • "What I'll be remembered for?" that was sad, she has a strong character in the series.

  • Road to Avonlea was one of my favourite serials. But Aunt Hetty was something else.......

    I just did adore Jackie in her role. The character ,Hetty King was just made & cut for her. I don't think any one else could have played it so perfectly.

    I have videos of this serial & watch them. I never get tired to see the episodes again & again.

    I was really heartbroken to know that Jackie Burroughs wasn't there any more.

    Rest in peace dear lady, you'll always be in my heart.........
