Hazel worked at the YMCA located on Depot St in Corbin, KY for many years until the facility closed in 1968. She worked at the Quality Shop, a ladies' clothing shop, on Main St in Corbin, KY until she retired in 1981.

Hazel attended and taught a Sunday School class at Piney Grove Baptist Church in Corbin, KY and sang in the church choir for many years. She was a member of Central Baptist of Corbin, KY at her death.

Hazel loved nature and loved to be outdoors. She loved to garden and to raise flowers in her yard and she loved her rocks. She loved the beach, the sea shells, the sun, the sand, and the water, where she and her husband enjoyed their vacations.

Hazel's favorite color was green. She painted many things green over the years. Give the woman a paintbrush and a gallon of her choice color and you better not stand still or you will be painted green.

Hazel loved her family...her children and her grandsons meant everything to her.

Hazel most of all loved the Lord.

Hazel had a stroke in June 1998 which affected the left side of her body.
