Hazel Hendriks
1936-2020
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Hazel
Hendriks, formerly of Riverview, who passed away at McNair Manor in
Moncton on Saturday, April 11, 2020, with her beloved Jim and daughter
Sonja by her side. Born in Musquodoboit NS, she was the daughter of
the late Stanley and Stella (Benedict) Brown. One of 13 children, she
was predeceased by sisters Irene and Pauline, and brothers Robert,
Roy, John and David.
Hazel spent her early years in NS as an elementary school
teacher. After moving to Riverview in the early 70’s she worked for
Sears Catalogue until her retirement in the early 2000’s.
Hazel was a devoted member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic
Church where she was a Eucharistic Minister and an active member of
the Parish Hall card parties and Prayer Shawl
Ministries.
She was a force of nature, filled with an energy and zest for
life barely contained by the petite package she came in. She
was many things to many people and was always willing to give her time
and energy to any cause. She loved staying in touch with
family and friends through social media, and always looked forward to
the next big activity. Especially important to her were her Royal
Ladies and their frequent gatherings. Her family was everything to
her, and she loved gathering with them over special occasions.
Her great granddaughter Iris brought her special
joy. She will be dearly missed by James, her loving husband
of 62 years, daughters Sonja (Sylvie Diotte), and Doralynne
Robichaud (David), grandchildren Jade Bragg (T.J.) and Jacob Chapman
(Josephine), sisters Violet and Joyce, brothers Russell,
Paul, Medford, and Darrell, as well as special family Paulette,
Trinda, and Darrell C., many nieces and nephews, and extended family
in Holland.
The family would like to thank the staff of The Moncton
Hospital for their care during her stay. Special thanks go
out to Dr. Jee and Dr. Hudson, the wonderful staff of McNair Manor,
and the Extramural Palliative Care Team for their care and
compassion.
The family will be receiving relatives and friends at
Cobb’s Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 330
Whitepine Rd., Riverview, NB (869-2007), on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 from
4-5 for seniors age 65 and over and from 6-7 PM for
those under 65. The funeral mass will be celebrated
from the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 5 Fatima Drive,
Riverview on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 at 11 AM with Father Charlie
Broderick presiding. Social distancing must be respected at all times
do to the current Covid 19 restrictions.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Hazel Hendriks 19362020..
