Hazel was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on August 20th, 1920, and was baptized in the Regina First Baptist Church. Hazel was a stenographer for Mutual Life of Canada, and married Howard in 1943 during his RCAF service in Regina. Howard's employment with Mutual Life took them to various places throughout Canada, including Kitchener/ Waterloo, Fort William/Port Arthur, Calgary, Lethbridge, North Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Sarnia, retiring in Calgary, High River and finally Winnipeg (Portsmouth Retirement Residence). Hazel was a loving mother and grandmother, remembered for her kindness and thoughtfulness to her children and grandchildren. Despite living long distance , she constantly kept in touch with the grandchildren through special cards and treats in the mail. Hazel always found time to take care of her friends and neighbours wherever she lived. She loved to read, and always brought home boxes of books from the library for the entire family. She particularly enjoyed working part-time at Calgary Public Library during their retirement. Hazel and Howard enjoyed many winters in Venture Out, Mesa, Arizona and many summers at the cottage in Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan. Cremation has taken place.
