Hazel was one of 5 children of Frank and Grace Newcombe. Her siblings were: Don, Grace, Jim & Ruth. Survived by sister-in-law Edna Newcombe. Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends.

Hazel was born and raised on the Newcombe farm at Mull and later moved to the Shamblaw farm in Kerwood in 1953 when she and Max were married. She loved to garden and preserve food – quilting was a favorite winter project. We have fonds memories of Mom and Grandma in her kitchen, the heart of the home. Hazel’s deep faith in the living God was her focus and strength throughout her life.

Thank you to the nursing and support staff at the Fairview Manor, Almonte for your loving care.
