She was born May 23, 1933, in Edgar County, Illinois, the daughter of the late Henry C. and Mabel E. (Kemper) Biggs. She married Richard B. Horseman on November 9, 1954. He preceded her in death on November 22, 1990.

She was preceded in death by a son-in-law, Carl Cloe; a grandson, Joshua Paul Horseman, four brothers and four sisters.
Mrs. Horseman was a 1951 graduate of Kansas High School and a 1954 graduate of the former Paris Hospital Nursing School. Hers was the last class before the school closed. She married later that year and moved to New Castle, Indiana. While in Indiana, she was employed in the surgical units at Henry County Hospital and Crawfordsville Hospital. At some point in her stay, she was employed by the Indiana State Hospital, a facility specializing in the treatment of epilepsy. In 1960, Hazel, her husband and children moved to Paris. She was hired by the Paris Community Hospital surgical department where she worked until the early 1980s. She was then employed by the former Heritage Nursing Home as Director of Nursing. After a few years, she was hired as Director of Nursing for Paris Healthcare Center until her retirement in 1998. During her time at Paris Healthcare Center, she was awarded the Illinois Director of Nursing of the Year Award.
Hazel was an active and dedicated member of Community Bible Church of Paris, where she was instrumental in the forming of the "old crows row." Throughout her walk as a follower of Jesus, she taught several ages of Sunday School classes and was active in the Ladies Missionary Society. Hazel will be remembered as a simple hardworking farm girl who had a heart for animals. She enjoyed playing board games and card games, and was a devoted and loving wife and mother.
