Cruz, at the age of 58. Hazel has gone home to be with our Lord and Savior where she will be
reunited with her parents Honorario D. Yango and Luz M. Yango. Thank you, God, for blessing
us with the fun-loving, lively, and colorful spirit that was Hazel. She will be sorely missed to all
those that call her a sister, mother, grandmother, partner, and friend.
Hazel was born in Los Banos of the Laguna province in the Philippines, but spent much of her
childhood growing up on Vashon Island after her parents moved to Washington state in the U.S.
She worked as an Operations Lead at Cenveo manufacturing company alongside her partner,
David Hughey, with whom she resided in Kent, Washington.
Hazel always made sure everyone in her family was well-fed and taken care of with her
delicious cooking. She had a green thumb for taking care of a garden full of flowers and plants.
She lit up the room with her laugh and her jokes--truly, she was the life of the party, always
dancing at family gatherings. She was strong-willed, feisty, and loud--never afraid to voice her
opinions. She loved to impart her wisdom and advice to her three sons and grandchildren.
Hazel is survived by her life partner: David Hughey; her siblings: Henry M. Yango, Maria M.
Petheram, Harry M. Yango, Homer M. Yango, Herminio M. Yango; her children: Edward Yango
Cruz Jr., Angelo Joseph Cruz, Michael Amor Guerzon Jr.; her grandchildren: Jodesi Edward
Ramos Cruz, Ajavion Cruz, Jaydin Edward Cruz, Alexander Cruz; and many more nieces and
nephews.
Hazel Cruz has led by example with regards to fiercely protecting her loved ones, exhibiting
unparalleled generosity, and all meanwhile letting loose and having fun. She has left a strong
example and an everlasting impression for those she is survived by.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed support, sympathy, and condolences for our family.
It is greatly appreciated.
Due to the current pandemic, Private Services will be held.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.Evergreen-Washelli.com for the Cruz family.
