Hazel was a wonderful mother and grandmother who deeply loved her family. While we grieve her presence here on Earth, we rejoice in knowing that she is with her friends and family members in heaven. We will cherish our memories of her.
The family expresses their sincere gratitude to the staff at Guilford House for the care and attention provided to Hazel. They were like a second family to her. The family would also like to thank the staff at AuthoraCare Collective (Hospice), especially Kelley, for the care and compassion given to her during these last few months.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
