Hazel Giles Obituary

WATERVILLE -- Hazel M. Giles, 85, passed away peacefully but unexpectedly on March 10, 2009, due to a brief illness with her loving family at her side.

She was born on July 6, 1923, in Benton, the daughter of Archie H. Sr. and Eleanor (Knight) Goodale. Hazel was married to Maynard E. Giles.

Hazel enjoyed latch work, crossword puzzles and most of all her "soaps," as she watched "Young and the Restless" daily. Hazel loved most spending time with her family.

Hazel was predeceased by her parents; her husband, Maynard Giles; an infant son, Leroy Giles; two sisters, Katherine Thurlow and Alice Nye; and three brothers, John Goodale, James Goodale and Archie Goodale Jr.

Hazel is survived by two daughters, Eleanor Lessard of North Vassalboro and Doris Ison of Florida; a brother, Manley Goodale; six grandchildren, Keith Lessard, Shelly Frost, Samantha Lessard, Melanie Davenport, Kristopher Lessard and Jonas Ison; 10 great-grandchildren, Nicolle Clement, Jenifer Lessard, Jesseca Hall, Renee Lessard, Natashia Varney, Jacob Varney, Mikayla Reynolds, Kasaundra Reynolds, Alicia Reynolds, and Clarissa Lessard.

A graveside service will take place at a later date in the spring. Arrangements are under the care of Redington Funeral Home.
