HAZEL ALLAN
August 18, 2004
HAZEL CHRISTINA ALLAN (nee LAMB) 1916 - 2004 It is with profound sadness that the family of Hazel Christina Allan announce her passing on Sunday, August 15, 2004 in the Portage District General Hospital at the age of 87 years. A lifelong resident of MacGregor, she was residing in the Care Home at the time of her death. She was predeceased by her parents, Tom and Mabel Lamb; husband Walter in 1965; son Perry in 2000; sister Dorothy Jones; and brothers-in-law, Iolo Jones and Frank Hay. Hazel and Walter raised five children, Roberta (Lyall) Stone, Beverly (Margaret), Perry (Patty), Nancy (Neil) and Robin (Maria). She was Grandmother to Timothy and Heather; Brent and Debra; Todd, Lori and Jacqueline; Joel and Jessie; Stefani, Gregory and Evan. She leaves as well to mourn her passing 12 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and her sister Mildred Hay. Hazel's strength of character and her resiliency stood her in good stead throughout her long life. She was a pioneer in the world of business at a time when women were expected to fulfil more traditional roles. She and her sisters owned and managed the Tivoli Theatre in MacGregor. Later she ran a dress shop. She did the books for Allan's Transfer for many years, and after she was widowed, she and her eldest son Beverley carried on the family trucking business while she continued to raise her two youngest children. In later years she served as a Justice of the Peace. She was passionate about social issues and paved the way for women to run in politics by making forays into the political arena when she ran as the CCF candidate in the Lakeside Constituency in 1953 and 1959 against then Premier Douglas Campbell. A member of the MacGregor United Church, Hazel served on Presbytery and taught Sunday School for over 40 years. Hazel loved to write. If it wasn't correspondence with family and past residents of MacGregor, then it was in the MacGregor Herald where for 25 years she wrote the column Village Tapestries. She had a great love of drama and theatre and directed numerous plays, musicals and shows throughout her lifetime. The town of MacGregor benefited greatly from Hazel's sense of civic duty and her desire to contribute to her community. She was by all accounts a woman ahead of her time and a woman for her time, a loving mother, and a caring grandmother. Sincere thanks are extended to the staff of the Personal Care Home, as we know mom really felt at home there and was well cared for. Funeral service will be held at the MacGregor United Church on Thursday, August 19 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Quentin Robinson officiating. Interment is to follow at the MacGregor Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Hazel's memory to the Perry Allan Scholarship Fund at Red River Community College, 2055 Notre Dame, Winnipeg, MB R3H 0J9 or the MacGregor Care Home or MacGregor United Church, General Delivery, MacGregor, MB R0H 0R0 or a charity of your choice.

Community activities important to Doug included Pembina Curling Club, Fort Garry Community Club, Summit Ski Club, Ducks Unlimited, and organizing or participating in various events through Air Canada. Doug was recognized for his volunteer spirit by all of these organizations. Doug loved to travel and was very generous, offering the opportunity to participate in his experiences with family and friends. Among the many trips he planned were baseball games, shopping trips, and weekends on a whim. During his battle with cancer, Doug was very humbled and appreciative of the outpouring of well wishes and support from family, friends and colleagues. He believed that he could "rally for the team". The family would like to thank the staff on H3 at the Health Science Centre for their care, compassion and communication which helped them through this difficult time.
