Hazel Cecilia Hanley

Hazel Cecilia (Doucette) Hanley, of Middleton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 9, 2023 in Graceview Senior’s Residence, Middleton in her 89^th year. Born on January 10, 1935 in Mavilette, she was a daughter of the late Maurice and Adele (Comeau) Doucette.

Hazel was tough as nails and soft as silk. She loved good music and singing. She was a sun worshiper and enjoyed travelling with family and friends. Her favourite saying when travelling was "there’s nothing there", if it was a place that she had no interest in. She had a great sense of humour, was very funny and never a party pooper. When her children were little, she went above and beyond to make Christmas magical. She was proud of her heritage and never turned down a Rappie pie. She loved fiercely and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Hazel was the loving mother of Adele (Bill) McDonald, Viewmount; Roy (Wendy), London, ON; Scott (Diane), Indian Island, NB; Dean (Stephanie), London, ON and Kelly (Julia) Hanley, Woodstock, ON; and sister of Raymond (Rose), Lower Sackville and Harold (Benita) Doucette, Halifax. She was adored by her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was the beloved aunt of many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Lorraine Pothier; and niece, Hazel Fleming.

Cremation has taken place. In keeping with Hazel’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Donations in memory may be made to Parkinson Canada. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
