December 9, 1915 - April 9, 2013Our beloved mother Hazel passed away at 97 yrs. old at NRGH, peacefully. She was born to the late Arvid and Amanda Lyckman in Carmangay, Alberta. She was the fifth child of six children. Her parents emigrated from Sweden and settled in Alberta as homesteaders.She was predeceased by her husband James Henderson. She and her husband left Alberta and moved to Nanaimo in 1947 with their two sons, Gary and Ron.She was a fun loving person who enjoyed square dancing with her husband. She also belonged to a sewing group for fifty years. As a loving wife and mother, she kept a fine household in order and a happy home for the family. She took great pleasure when from time to time; a stream of family from Alberta would pay them a visit and stay with them.Hazel is survived by her two brothers, Ray at 99 yrs. old, Stan at 95 yrs. old and a sister Gladys at 102 yrs. old. She is also survived by her two sons, Gary with wife Cindy and Ron. In Nanaimo she has a niece Carol and husband Stan Jordan. Most of her nephews and nieces are in Alberta who will also miss her dearly.Hazel was a resident at Malaspina Gardens for four years before her passing. The family would like to express a heartfelt thanks to the staff at Malaspina Gardens and the nurses at NRGH on third floor. There will be no service to follow.
