WEBB, Hazel (McWatters)

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of a very dearly loved, respected and devoted wife, mother and grandmother at the Sault Area Hospital (Plummer) on October 7, 2004 at the age of 65, after a lengthy battle with cancer. Hazel fought long and hard and managed to maintain a sunny disposition and had a smile and kind word for all. Hazel’s quiet determination and strength was an inspiration to all who knew her. She will be sadly missed by her loving husband and best friend Len, of 24 years, her beloved daughters, Anne Ellis (Stephen) of Toronto and Cindy Sheaves (Ken); her loving step-children, Leonard Jr. (Cherry) of Janetville, Ontario; Linda Mills and Dawna Armstrong. She was a devoted, loving grandmother of many and great grandmother of two. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law who loved and respected her and numerous wonderful friends who meant so much to her. Hazel was predeceased by her parents, Flora and Oliver McWatters. Also dear sister of Clayton (Edna) the late Grant (late Doreen), the late Keith (Mary), the late Tom and the late Marlene. As Hazel requested, she was allowed to make her final journey and dignity and for that we thank Drs. Walde and Spadafora and all the nursing staff of the Plummer Hospital Oncology and Palliative Care Units and also for the wonderful care, concern and compassion shown to Hazel and her family while in those units. At Hazel’s and Len’s request, a private family funeral was held at O’Sullivan Donnelly Funeral Home on Tuesday October 12, 2004 with Rev. Bruce McLeish officiating. Cremation followed. Donations to the Oncology Education Fund would be appreciated.
Miss me, but let me go,
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared;
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone,
It’s all part of the master’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
Miss me, but let me go.
