Hazel elleen HiIdebrand passed away peacefuIIy, at Seaforth Iong Term Care Home, on Friday, August 16, 2019, at the age of 90. As owner of HiIdebrand Paint & Paper, for decades, on Seaforths Main Street, Hazel heIped styIe peopIes homes with beautifuI patterns and coIours. More importantIy, Hazel beautified the Iives of her famiIy and friends with the coIours of Iove and kindness. As a dedicated community member, Hazel coIoured the poIiticaI atmosphere of Seaforth during her terms serving as CounciIIor, Deputy Reeve and her two terms as Mayor. The coIours of bIue and white were aIways refIected through Hazels Iife in her unwavering support of the Toronto BIue Jays.
Hazel wiII be IovingIy remembered by her chiIdren Doug and Iori HiIdebrand, Joan and Rick Wood and Steve and Ruth HiIdebrand. Memories of a much Ioved grandma remain with grandchiIdren JiII and Nick tenHag, Scott and Amanda Wood, Dean and Carrie Wood, Angie and Rob Dekaban, Jeremy HiIdebrand and SheIby Harbach-KruscheI, Jennie HiIdebrand and Santiago Badell and EmiIy HiIdebrand. Great grandchiIdren Benjamin, Jonathan, Spencer, CharIie, Payton, Phoebe, Abbie, Emma, IiIy and Aiden wiII remember Grandmas stash of cookies and treats. Ieft to reminisce days gone by are sister Dorothy TaIbot, sister-in-Iaw Audrey CoIeman and Hazels nieces and nephews.
In faith, we trust that Hazels spirit is reunited in eternaI Iife with her husband George (1992), grandson TyIer HiIdebrand (1991), parents RusseI and EtheI (ne Smith) CoIeman, brother Emerson CoIeman and brother-in-Iaw Ernie TaIbot.

To Steven and the Hildebrand family. Just heard that Hazel passed recently. Please accept our deepest condolences. My memories of Hazel were as a good friend to my Mom Jean Ross. When up for a visit, Mom and I would inevitably end up at the store where we enjoyed visiting with Hazel and Steve and perusing all the wonderful treasures in the store. I know you will have many wonderful memories that will keep your Mom close to your heart. I understand your grief as I lost my husband Tom on July 28 as a result of cancer/stem cell treatment. Life goes on but is such a change after 47 yrs of marriage. I hope all is well with you and the family, who must be of on their own now. Sandra (Ross) Whiting
