It is with indescribable sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Hazel Coughlan (nee Wilson), one day shy of her 97^th birthday.  Hazel was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Hartling) Wilson of Wilson’s Cove, Nova Scotia.  Pre-deceased by, and now reunited with the love of her life, John Coughlan, whom she was married to for 63 years. 

Hazel is survived by her son Richard (Louise) and daughter Wendy (Brian Hunt); grandchildren, Kristen (Craig Anderson), Alexander Hunt, Tara (Joshua Campbell-Harrold), Robert Hunt (Jordan) and Ashley (Jacob Lawrence).  Dearly missed by her five great-grandchildren, Eadey and Cooper Anderson, Reese and Scotlyn Campbell and Isla Lawrence, who were her world.

Hazel is also survived by her only remaining sibling, brother Lawrence Wilson (late Barbara) and sisters-in-law, Dorothy and Edna Wilson, all of Nova Scotia.  Also survived by many extended family members and friends in Nova Scotia, Ottawa and Hamilton, Ontario. Pre-deceased by her siblings Winnifred (Harry), Anna (Bill), Ada (Kermit), Rosalie (John), Harold (Eileen), Fred (Eileen), Wilbert (Beverly), Edwin, Floyd,  Everett, Jim and Morton (Ethel).
