AUBURN — Hazel Elaine Newcomb, 78, of Livermore, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 22, at the Hospice House in Auburn with her family by her side, as the morning sun rose and the cardinal chirped outside her window.

Hazel was born on May 30, 1939, in Dixfield, the daughter of Vinal and Violet (MacPherson) Noyes. On Dec. 26, 1959, she married the love of her life, George A. “Bud” Newcomb Sr. He predeceased her on Aug. 29, 1990.

Hazel loved her family and the large celebrations that were often held. She eagerly awaited her favorite trip to the White Mountains with her daughter and son-in-law every year. She referred to the White Mountains as “home.” She also enjoyed her regular Friday night visits with Ann, as well as her collection of angels … gifts throughout the years, each with special meaning. Hazel is a beautiful soul who always gave to others without expecting anything in return.

She was employed for many years as an LPN at MaineGeneral Hospital and will be remembered for her many years as a devoted employee at Berry Hill in Livermore where her early upbringing of hard work could be seen in her daily work ethic.

Hazel is loved by her children, who sadly will miss her, Laurie Laskey and her husband, David, of Topsham, and their son, Andrew Laskey; Jeff Newcomb and his wife, Elizabeth, of Livermore, and their children, Dillon Newcomb and his fiancée, Ally Arel, of South Portland, Kailee Newcomb of Jay, Megan Duval, Bret Duval, and Ryleigh Duval of Livermore; and son, James Newcomb of Livermore; stepchildren, Rosemary Levesque of Jay, Sonny Newcomb and his wife, Trish, of Livermore Falls; Peggy Hanson of Gray and Ann Richards and her husband, Steve, of Jay; stepdaughter-in-law, Shari Newcomb of Jay; brothers, Vinal Noyes and his wife, Laurie, of Dixfield, Kenneth Noyes and his wife, Ann, of Madison and Carroll Noyes and his wife, Carol Ann, of Peru. Her brothers adored her and lovingly nicknamed her Caper.

She will also be missed by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws and many extended family members.

She was predeceased by her parents; her sister, Evelyn Noyes Jones; her husband, Bud; her stepson, Michael Newcomb; and her stepson-in-law, Paul Levesque.
