TRENTON – Hazel Marie (Horton) Smith, 81, Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow, formerly of Trenton, passed away Sunday, November 24, 2013 in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow. Born in Eureka on September 30, 1932, she was a daughter of the late Lloyd and Hazel (Taylor) Horton. She and her late husband, Frank, lived in Trenton the majority of their married life, and in recent years, both resided in Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow. Marie was employed for many years with the former Goodman Company Limited, New Glasgow and Tanya’s Boutique, New Glasgow until retirement due to ill health.
