Hazel Hutchings

It is with heavy hearts and deep love that we announce the passing of Hazel Hutchings, who left this world peacefully on November 14, 2025, in Cambridge, Ontario. Loved by all who knew her, Hazel touched countless lives with her kindness, warmth, and gentle spirit. Hazel was born in Bell Island, Newfoundland, a place that shaped her spirit—strong, kind, and full of quiet resilience. She carried her Newfoundland warmth with her everywhere she went, touching the lives of everyone blessed to know her. She is predeceased by her loving husband, Gerald, her cherished parents, Albert and Jesse, and her beloved grandson, Stephen. Those who loved Hazel take comfort knowing she is now reunited with them and surrounded by the family she missed so dearly. Hazel was the heart of her family. She leaves behind her three children, Brenda (Douglas), Wanda (Steve), and Gerald, who were the pride and joy of her life. She also leaves behind her brother Chelles and sister Dorothy, grandchildren Scott (Marlene), Lisa, Kaitlyn, Jordon (Emma), Dustin (Shan) and Julie (Chris) and her treasured great-grandchild, each of whom held a special place in her heart. To them, and to so many others, she was Nanny Hazel: a steady presence, a gentle listener, and a source of endless love. Her hands were always busy caring for others, and her door—and heart—were always open. Whether she was sharing a story, offering wisdom, or simply sitting quietly beside someone, Hazel had a way of making people feel seen, safe, and loved. She was deeply loved in life and will be deeply missed in passing. Her legacy is one of kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to the people she held close. Though our hearts ache, we are grateful for the years we were given with her and the beautiful imprint she leaves behind.

May she rest in eternal peace.
