HAZEL EVELYN CAMERON (nee DEAMEL) On December 21, 2016 after a wonderful life of 91 years, Mom left us to re-unite with Dad (Harvey). Mom was born December 10, 1925 in Somerset, MB and attended school in the Archibald District before moving to Winnipeg with her sister Margaret to work. They attended a dance one night and met two brothers of which they would both eventually marry. Mom and Dad were married in a tiny church near Mom's family farm and would spend 60 years together until Dads passing in 2007. A stay-at-home Mom until all of us kids were in school, she re-entered the workforce working for Olympic Sports wear, Holiday Haven Lodge and Eaton's Cafeteria. They retired in 1984 and moved to Sanford and then back to Winnipeg in 2002. Mom and Dad enjoyed camping and travelling Hawaii, Alaska, Disneyland, and eventually spending winters in Yuma, AZ and Vernon, BC. They shared the love of music, especially old time fiddle music and with that. DANCING.
