So it seemed appropriate Katy Perry's song "Birthday" formed the backdrop for the 17-year-old's funeral service on Friday.
It was especially poignant when you consider the lyrics: "... give you something good to celebrate".
Friends and family fought back tears as the celebrant compared Hazel's life to that of a shooting star - short, but memorable. Others embraced or held hands.
The teenager was described as a "beautiful, vibrant soul" and "no words will soften the blow. We can never fill the space in our hearts that has been left."
Her father, Peter, wanted everyone to treasure every special memory they had of Hazel.
"She made a difference," he said. "I've been through all the emotions in the last week - the how, why, what have we done, what has she done," he told the congregation which had spilled out from the chapel onto the surrounds of the Innes Gardens Memorial Park.
Sometimes you might have to agree to disagree, but never go to bed with things left unsaid. Hazel and I never left things unresolved.
- Hazel's father, Peter Kirkbride
"But Hazel achieved more in her 17 years than a lot of people would see in their whole life."
He said there was one thing he wanted the congregation to take away with them from the service which he felt had helped him deal with the devastating loss of his daughter.
"Sometimes you might have to agree to disagree, but never go to bed with things left unsaid. Hazel and I never left things unresolved. It's weird, but she probably achieved all that she could in a short time," he said.
"It was never about winning for Hazel.
"She just didn't want to disappoint anybody; sometimes we had to make her stay at home from school when she was sick."
The service paused at 9.26am for a minute's silence to mark the time Hazel lost her life when the car she was driving collided with a garbage truck on Hastings River Drive on March 31.
Her 21-year-old sister Sarah wrote several poems to remember her baby sister, admitting she was "still waiting for her to come through the door".
"A day spent together is a memory to treasure," she said.
Despite the tears, it is clear Hazel gave all those around her something good to celebrate.
