Hazel Doris Beaton Morley
Hazel Doris Beaton (Woodrow) Morley, 90, of Orleans, died peacefully surrounded by her family on March 1, 2018, at the North Country Hospital in Newport.
Mrs. Morely was born on October 3, 1927, in Lisbon, New Hampshire. She was the daughter of the late Neil and Elizabeth (Schoff) Woodrow.
She grew up in Windsor, New Hampshire, on the family farm. The book History of Windsor shares stories about when she was a schoolgirl. Then Hazel Woodrow, she walked or rode her bike 15 miles round trip to school. Sometimes she balanced two gallons of maple syrup on the bike to be delivered on route to school.
She will always be remembered by her children and grandchildren as a loving and kind woman who made everything special for them, from sewing and knitting their clothes, to making dance costumes and baking special treats. Her house was always filled with culinary smells of love.
When her children were little she was a leader in 4-H, where she taught cooking. She loved to square dance, walk, was an avid reader, and enjoyed her flower gardens. Mrs. Morley was also a devoted member of the Orleans Federated Church. She retired from Slalom Ski Wear after 20 years of service were she was a seamstress.
She had six sisters that she was very close to. One of her sisters, Sally, shared this memory on Mrs. Morley: “For anyone who knows my family, then you know there were seven of us girls (poor dad).
“When I was growing up on the farm in Windsor, I used to love going out at night and searching the stars. I would always seek out the Pleiades star cluster called the Seven Sisters and count them to make sure there were always seven (not always easy with the naked eye). I would always say, ‘That is my sisters and I.’ I still did that even in adulthood. I know that if I were able to see them now, that I would only be able to count six, but then every once in a while, I would see a twinkling as it moved in and out of my sight. I know in my mind that I would hear her say, ‘See I am here — always in your heart.’ Rest in peace my dear, dear sister. You completed us. The number seven means completion.”
She is survived by her children: Robin Neil Beaton of Orleans, Vickie Obomsawin and her husband, David, of Orleans, and Heidi Royer of Hyde Park. She is also survived by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Robin Beaton and his wife, Tammy, and their children: Autumn and Shaylyn, all of Irasburg, Heather Beaton and her son Victor Crondahl of Juneau, Alaska, Bethany Royer and her children: Zeke Royer and Mercedes Adams of Hyde Park, Lorin Royer and his children: Jayden, Shane, and Natalie Hazel Royer of Eden Mills; and by her sisters: Gloria Henry and her husband, Fred, of West Lebanon, New Hampshire, Lilla Sweeney of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, Sally Dyer of Antrim, New Hampshire, Jane Dutton of Deering, New Hampshire, Nancy Olson of Pembroke, New Hampshire, and Sandy Fisher and her husband, Steve, of Contoocook, New Hampshire; and by many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents Neil and Elizabeth Woodrow; her first husband, Daniel Beaton; her second husband, John Morley; her brother Neil F. Woodrow Jr.; and her son-in-law Lawrence Royer.
