I’m sorry to hear about this. Hazel was just absolutely the best to me. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
She was just out of high school when she began to babysit for our daughter, Nicole. She was never late arriving in her daddy’s cab and leaving the same way. She was kind and so patient. Great woman. She will be missed.

Hazel and I go way back to the News Stand days at The Homestead and then we worked together again in Reservations. She was always very helpful and kind and one of the most conscientious workers I’ve ever seen. She was a sweet person and will be missed.
Hazel was wonderful lady. She always called to check on me and mom. I was so honored as her cousin, to have been able to cap her on class night when she graduated. She will be missed. Love you, Hazel. Prayers to the family.
Hazel, such a special lady. She always cared about everyone, how they were doing and being there if you needed someone to talk to. She was a caring and kind soul. Will be greatly missed by many.
