High School in Tennessee in 1952.

footwear for over 22 years. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, and grandmother that

always placed her family’s needs above her own. Hazel’s greatest joy came from serving her

family, including a large extended family. Everyone always knew that they could come to her

house with or without notice, get a warm welcome, something to eat, and a place to stay for as

long as they chose. She was a kind person, never had an unkind work to say about anyone. She

loved the small farm she shared with her husband for the last 50 plus years of their life, the

gardening, canning vegetables, and even helping her husband with the livestock when needed.

before her Alzheimer’s took her memories.
