Hazel Debra Jarvis (21 Oct 1964 - 14 May 2017)

Happy birthday little one 😘😘 thinking of you ❤️❤️

The one and only Auntie H!!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long, I just didn't know what to say.
You were an amazing person, always full of smiles and you never let your illness get you down. You were always there whenever I needed you.

We had such a great turn out for your funeral you would of been proud! Everyone said some lovely things about you. (Who wouldn't!) I'm glad you managed to touch so much hearts the way you did mine.

Now whenever I have a KFC or Mcds I'll think of you.

Your crazy dancing, your laugh, your tears over films, our shopping trips, our outings, Christmas and brithdays will forever be imprinted on my heart. I will never let Ollie forget you either! He was proud to have you as a great Auntie.

I'll never forget all our memories and your foreverr be in my heart. ❤️

I love you so much. RIP Auntie H xxxx

In fond memory to one of life's good people.

Justin.

On behalf of the family I would like to thank everyone for their support, kind words and generosity.

RIP Hazel. You will be forever missed.

Eulogy by Tim Fallowfield

On this very sad occasion, I am pleased to be able to say a few words about Hazel and what she achieved at Sainsbury’s. I’m sure that my thoughts are shared by the very many friends and colleagues that she worked with since she joined the company in 1998.

Hazel worked for me for about 15 years so I got to know her very well over that time. Words that immediately spring to mind to describe her are loyal, determined, kind, stubborn, warm – hearted, approachable, McDonalds Biggest Fan and highly talented in her role as Deputy Company Secretary.

This is a role that requires a high degree of technical ability, an eye for detail and being able to make often dry subjects understandable to others, such as shareholders and employees. Hazel was fantastic at explaining the intricacies of matters such as share plans, and making time for people including the most senior managers in Sainsbury’s, who trusted her advice implicitly.

Hazel usually had a smile on her face even in the most stressful of circumstances. She was determined, for instance she hated public speaking but took her courage in her hands and made herself stand up in front of others and present, and she did this really well.

She was quite prepared to challenge me and when she did so, she was usually right. I welcomed her feedback to see things in a different light.

She played her role in some of the yearly events in Sainsbury’s which have the highest profile, including the Annual Report and the AGM. If they go wrong, everyone knows about it. Hazel’s perseverance and ability to see things through meant that we were always in good hands. My gratitude to her for managing these events so successfully knows no bounds.

Sainsbury’s is a company which, for the last 150 years, has asked for a bit more from the people who work there. It is run on very strong values requiring us all to treat everyone with respect, provide great service and generally do the right thing. I can pay Hazel no greater compliment than to say that she was a Great Sainsbury’s colleague.

She didn’t just do her job, she naturally played her part in making Sainsbury’s a great place to work, whether that was participating in a fun run (which wasn’t much fun to her) or as the store adopter for our Crayford store, which many of you will know, helping that store to grow to one of the biggest in the Sainsbury’s estate.

She was rightly proud of the part she played, and remained committed to it throughout her illness, as shown by our regular chats and texts when she wanted to know all the news and gossip. She made lifelong friends at Sainsbury’s who loved her and wanted to support her to the end of her life.

So we will miss Hazel tremendously, but remember her with love and great fondness and many happy memories, and we will celebrate her life as a True Sainsbury’s colleague and a great friend.

Sweet dreams H, I will miss you! Gemma xx

We will both miss you so much. You are one the bravest people we ever met, and your love and kindness will never be forgotten xxxx

Sleep tight H xx

A mentor and a friend. Taken far too soon. The world has lost a wonderful lady.

I am glad the sun will be shining tomorrow as I have never met anyone who loved the sun as much as you. I remember our 8 hour sunbathing sessions in Gran Canaria. We came back to a snow blizzard covered London, me the colour of a mahogany sideboard, you the colour of tar. Goodnight sweetheart x

Goodbye Lovely Hazel, life is unfair but we are left with the vision of your beautiful smile.

Our wonderful Hazel, we are missing you so much. Who is going to give me "that look" reprimanding me when I have done something silly and who is going to text me in the middle of "Strictly" to point out the ridiculous or wonderful moves of some of the dubious contestants. Our lunches are not the same without you but you will continue to be with us as we remember your warm smile, wicked sense of humour and incredible support. Love always Jo xxx

In memory of a very brave lady, sleep tight xx

Rest in peace Hazel, lots of love Lucy and Richard

Rest in peace Hazel, all our love Lucy and Richard Tapsfield

You were always smiling Hazel. I'm sorry I can't be there Thursday to say goodbye to you. My thoughts will be with you, your family and friends - you had many. xx

Hey Mrs
I treasure the fun and the laughs that we always had even in the tough times. I will always miss your strength and never ending support, my special friend. Sending a huge soppy hug (yes I am allowed this time x) and don't ever forget Strictly! Jxxxx

Hazel - my friend and a big part of what I call my Sainos 'family'. Will miss you, the laughs and your chip stories...! Brave, fun, loyal and will be missed immensely. Lucy x

Hazel,

For aslong as I can remember you have been a constant figure in my life, from the crafts sets and bears when younger, to the jewelry and makeup now.

You have been a true asset and I am forever greatful to have a such an admiring person in my life.

Your illness never stopped you from smiling, those smiles forever imprinted in my heart and mind.

Hazel, so deeply missed and a huge loss to us all.

Thank you for everything and making me into the person I am today.
