HAZEL EVELYN DUNNINGTON July 23, 1916 - August 2, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Aunt at the age of 95. Hazel was born in Winnipeg, MB, the daughter of the late Harry Bell and Florence Shepard. She spent most of her life in Winnipeg. Predeceased by her husband Bill Dunnington, brothers Stan, Jerry and Harry, dear sister-in-law, Hilda and nephew, Ralph and great cousin, Pearl.

The main part of Hazel's career was spent in photography starting with Kodak then working for over 25 years at the Eaton's camera department before retiring. Her life was abundant and full, and she touched many peoples lives along the way. Hazel was blessed to enjoy her last few years with Joan and Jim in Kelowna. She will be remembered for her smile, kindness and zest for life, but especially for her trademark sense of humor which she maintained all the way to her last days. She was very loved and will be greatly missed. I LOVE YOU MOM! A special thank you to her nephew Allen and his wife Linette Bell from Winnipeg who were there for Mom in any circumstance and provided much love and care before she moved to Kelowna. She loved you dearly. A Celebration of Hazel's Life service will be held in Winnipeg, MB September 11, 2011 at 12:00 noon at the Niakwa Country Club, 620 Niakwa Road.
