It is with sadness that the family of Hazel Isabella Ann Elborne (Meek) announces her passing on July 12, 2026, in Edmonton, Alberta, at the age of 92.
Hazel was born on May 15, 1934, in Colgate, Saskatchewan and grew up in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, to Anna and George Meek, who predeceased her. She lived a life centered on family, love, and quiet strength, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Hazel was predeceased by her beloved husband, Gordon Elborne; her daughter, Lori Brohman; her son, Craig Elborne; her parents, Anna and George Meek; her brother, Orville Meek; and her sister, June Meek.
She is lovingly remembered by her son Tod Elborne (Betty Ann); her son-in-law Jim Brohman; her grandchildren Erin Brohman, Amy Brohman (Bryce), Meghan Lakusta (Darryl), Liam Brohman (Sigourney), Ryan, and Dean Elborne; and her cherished great-grandchildren Sydney, Rhys, Emilia, and Sigried.

My condolences to family and friends. I met Hazel through Seniors on Skis. Loved her wit and smiling personality. Hugs. Shirley Powell.
Hazel was a member of the Westend Seniors Activity Centre and a Spirited Euchre card player. Her friendship and quick wit were enjoyed by all. She greeted everyone with her warm smile.
Till later my friend.

Hazel was a member of the Edmonton and Alberta Genealogy Society’s. She will be deeply missed by all the members. May the memories you hold in your heart bring healing and peace to your soul. On behalf of the Alberta and Edmonton Genealogical Societies, please accept our sincere condolences.
I met Hazel in 1980 while attending college with Tod. My first interaction was at the Elborne home, we were there to work on a group project. Hazel used the opportunity to practice her Toastmaster speech and I knew immediately she was a force to be reckoned with! Hazel was born the same year as my mom, and they both had a strength and drive that was obvious. So fascinating given they were born in the 30s during the great depression and at a time when women were expected to “take a back seat”. Hazel’s studies abroad are an example of her sense of adventure. Hazel will be dearly missed by all that knew her. Condolences to the family!
Our deepest condolences to the Elborne family.
We met Hazel at the Westend Seniors Centre in the euchre and genealogy groups. She had a beautiful smile, such a positive attitude and was always interested in everyone else’s lives.
We will miss her dearly.
May all your cherished memories of Hazel keep her close to you always.
Sincerely, Paul & Judy Rose
