Valerie Anne Hazlett (née Daly)

July 28, 1950 – June 2, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Valerie Anne Hazlett, beloved Mother, Nana, and friend, on June 2, 2025, in London, Ontario. Born in Kitchener on July 28, 1950, Valerie lived a full and vibrant life defined by independence, humour, and resilience.

Valerie was a devoted mother to her only child, Julie Gillen (Gilchrist), and loving mother-in-law to Sean Gillen. She was a proud and adoring Nana to Andrew, Daniel, Colin, and Connor, all of whom were the light of her life.

Professionally, Valerie had a long and accomplished career in the security and energy industries. She held numerous leadership roles across Ontario, known for her sharp insight, strong work ethic, and dedication. From launching businesses to mentoring teams, she left a legacy of excellence and integrity.

Outside of work, Valerie had a zest for life — she loved animals, travel, and cherished time with her friends and family. Fiercely independent, brave until her final moments, and armed with a wicked sense of humour, Valerie was truly unforgettable. She will be dearly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held:
