Hazel was a long-time member of First Christian Church in Lemoyne. She was the oldest of seven children in a farm family which was a great sense of pride for Hazel. Her farming roots and contributions to the family farm remained fond memories throughout her life. In the early years of her marriage, Hazel continued her devotion to her family by picking up hammer and saw and helping to build their new home in Camp Hill. Hazel took her role of mother and homemaker seriously. She taught her children to value and to respect everyone, and she carried those values into her volunteerism as a Cub Scout Den Mother. Hazel is fondly remembered as a strong, independent woman with a heart of gold.
