Hazel loved being a mother and a grandmother. She was very kind and would often help those she didn’t know, inviting them for dinner or finish paying their bill at the grocery store. She enjoyed country music and watching old westerns on T.V. Hazel read her bible everyday saying “That’s how you learn.” She died peacefully and was excited to meet Jesus and God. She was loved by her family and will be truly missed.
