Early on the evening of February 22, 2011 in the Brandon Regional Health Centre, Hazel Margaret Condy departed this life. Hazel was the second youngest of the eight children of Mr. William Lamb of Dundee and Isabella Floyd of Edinburgh Scotland. She was predeceased by her parents William (1961) and Isabella (1944), by her older brothers Alex (1964), Bill (1974), Herb (1981), Winston (1993); by her sisters Ethel (1908), Cookie (1966), and her younger sister Ruby (2008). The Lamb family settled in Winnipeg in 1908 to raise their large and growing family and Hazel was born there on November 30, 1917. After attending several schools in Winnipeg, Hazel graduated from Daniel McIntyre in 1935. In 1937, she began her first career in the T. Eaton Company making and packaging chocolates, candies and confectioneries, a job she held for the next sixteen years. In 1953, she met and later married Sergeant Jack (John Henry) Condy and left the firm to accompany him to the many different army bases he was posted to. In the mid-sixties, Hazel and Jack settled in Brandon where they resided for the next twenty eight years until Jack's untimely death in 1993. A true child of the depression, Hazel made good use of her girl guide skills learned in the late twenties and early thirties. Being an excellent cook, a skill learned from an elderly relative who had won awards at the Paris Exposition of 1900, and a good photographer for which she won awards in 1947 and 1973. In the thirties and forties, Hazel was also a member of softball, fastball and bowling teams in Winnipeg. In the years after Jack's death, Hazel continued to lavish attention on her rose garden and to be an active and enthusiastic star gazer until the actions of inconsiderate neighbors denied her both these pleasures forever. Forced inside, she turned her attention to a mass of reading, correspondence with a growing number of relatives and her ever present piano. Seldom did her house not resound with the music of her favorite composer Frederic Chopin. During the nearly twenty years of her widowhood, Hazel's health declined only very slowly and it was only during the last six months that she slowly withdrew from her many interests. Hazel will best be remembered by those who knew her for her many innovative solutions to life's problems.
