HAZEL IRENE HORKOFF Hazel Irene Horkoff passed away quietly in the Victoria General Hospital on July 5, 2004. She was born in Roseau County, MN on March 20, 1910, the fifth of six children born to the late Evan and Dena Ericson. She was predeceased by her brother and four sisters, her husband Sam Horkoff, and by her son-in-law Dave Trainor. Hazel was a quiet home-body, enjoying particularly reading and sewing. Her favourite activity was sitting in her own living room with her family around her. She loved children and trees, had a limited number of close friends and enjoyed pleasant relationships with everybody. She is mourned by her daughter Avonne Trainor; by her granddaughter Pat MacRae, her husband Murray and their daughters, Samantha, Elizabeth and Anna; by her grandson Joe Trainor, his wife Terry and their sons, John and Max; by a number of nieces and nephews in various parts of Canada; by Nancy and Bill Mitchell and their family; and by Kathryn Miles and her daughters, Lois Rose and Joanne McGregor. The family wishes to thank the staff and friends at Juniper House in Rosewood Village for the love and care shown Hazel during the last four years. Nancy and Gretha were particularly dear to her. Sincere thanks go also to the third floor staff of the Victoria General Hospital, whose kindness made Hazels last month less difficult. She loved her doctor, Dr. Karen Boyd, and so do we all. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service and interment will be held at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home and Cemetery, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. on August 19 at 1:30 p.m. The family asks for memorial contributions to ones favourite charity, in lieu of flowers.
