Hazel Jefferys (5 May 1930 - 25 Aug 2023)

I had the privilege of having Hazel and Stan as my godparents, as they were good family friends of my parents, Wendy and Stewart Tucker. Hazel and Stan often holidayed in their caravan in the South of France, kindly gifting use of their caravan for mum and dad’s honeymoon.

And though we moved to the East Midlands from Walderslade in 1992, still kept in touch via phone and Christmas cards. Sadly we lost my mum in 2017.
I always remember Hazel encouraging me and my brother John to have a curious mind and have fond memories laughing, reading and spending time with Hazel and Stan. Only recently learning of Hazel’s passing.
Our thoughts are with Julie, Jimmy and their families. Lindsay, John and Stewart Tucker

Thank you all for your kind messages and donations. My mum was very special and the family miss her terribly. She was a loved and loving lady

Hazel was a great friend to my Mum. They worked together at Fort Pitt school and remained good friends for many years. I always enjoyed spending time with her and Stan whilst I was visiting Mum.

May Hazel rest in peace.

She will be sadly missed by all her friends.

So sorry to hear about Hazel's passing. She was a good friend to my mother, Dorothy Mitchell, who she worked with at Rainham Girls School. I remember Hazel at school as well (although she did not teach me). Both Hazel and Stan were very supportive of my Mum when my father passed.
I also remember being persuaded by Hazel to start selling Weekenders Clothes and had good fun with that.
Hazel was always good company and will be sorely missed.
It was a lovely send off for Hazel today.
Thinking of you all at this time.

A lovely friend - sadly missed. I loved Hazel’s personality and her poems!

Hazel has left me with many happy memories. We have shared much laughter, reading favourites and the love of France. I have lost a good friend x
