Remembering the war Hazel said: 'We got through the hard times, like always, by sticking together and making the best of it'
Hazel MacLennan was born on MacLellan Street on February 5, 1923, and grew up in the Plantation and Sheildhall areas of the city before attending Govan High School.
After the war, Hazel married Donald McLennan and the couple later settled in Paisley where they raised their two sons, Murdoch and Alex. "Raising my two sons has been my greatest joy in life, and they are both my biggest accomplishments.”Hazel now resides in the Court Care Home in Maidens, South Ayrshire, where she was this week able to celebrate her milestone birthday surrounded by her closest friends and family.
