Debbie Hamlin

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Debbie Hamlin at the age of 56 years. Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 32 years, Terry; her daughters, Donna (Jeremy) Hayden and Rachel (Jon) Hamlin; her grandchildren, Abby, Faith, Isabelle, Olivia and Jonny; sister Lois Shewchuk; brother Jamie Russell, brothers and sisters-in-law, Georgina McLellan, Doris (Larry) Woodbeck, Margaret (Mario) Blasizzo, Susan (Bill) Hamlin, Jim Hamlin, David (Wendy) Hamlin, Charlie (Sue) Hamlin, Jack (Phyllis) Hamlin, and Ed (Lorie) Hamlin. She was predeceased by her granddaughter Taylor; parents Lena Russell and Herbert Humby; brother Stan Russell; sister Susan Russell; mother and father-in-law, George and Lucine Hamlin, as well as numerous brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Debbie was a delivery driver for many years, where she met many friends and loved her job. Due to illness, she had to quit her job which was hard for her, but became a homemaker and made sure Terry, her kids and especially her grandkids were always looked after. Debbie enjoyed many trips to Duluth, but mostly her summer trips when Georgina came down from Calgary to accompany her for shopping and going to the casino. When Debbie was home, she enjoyed being with her grandchildren. She did everything for them, from baking their birthday cakes to spoiling them rotten. She also enjoyed spending her Thursdays with Abby and taking her for lunch. In her days, she enjoyed yard sales, darts, bowling and golfing for The Shelter House. But most of all, she loved spending all her time with Terry; where you saw Terry, you always saw Debbie.Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 17, 2014 in the Chapel of Harbourview Funeral Centre, 499 North Cumberland Street, presided by Rev.
