In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Hazel made to the Memorial United Church in Portugal Cove or to the Janeway Foundation would be greatly appreciated by her family.

Our deepest condolences of the loss of your beautiful mother..our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time
Mrs Churchill was a resident at North Pond the same time dad was there and she was always eager to chat and ask how everyone was. Every time we walked past her room, we were greeted with a wave and invited in to show us her latest knitting project. In the short time we knew her, we were always the recipient of her bright smile and stories of the family she loved. We know how sweet she was to us, so it’s easy to imagine how special she was for those of you she loved the most. Deepest condolences.
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was such a lovely lady, always so pleasant and smiling. I remember her when I lived near you as a young child.
She always had room in the house for one more. Sincere condolences to you all at this sad time. Nancy Randell (Ivany).
