Hazel was the 3rd born of three siblings sister. Hewery Lue Clark and Betsy Rivers. She was the last sibling to go home. Since 1969, Hazel and her family attended First Institution Baptist Church. Hazel was one of the best mothers, in her eyes she knew no strangers. Her heart was so big, full of love and compassion. No matter the time or the day, if you need something, a place to live, someone to talk to you, her home was always open.
One of Hazels favorite things to do was looking for the best yard sales and spending time at the casino. Her time in the casino, were very lucky more than most, and her blessing, only became the blessings for others. Because she would always used the money to help someone else out. She also loved animals, she must of have every animal that the neighborhood would allowed. She also love to cook, if it meant 30 Sweet potato pies for a holiday and making a feast for her children, she did it. Hazel was the best mother and father to her children, one of the best to do it. A woman who went above and beyond. A strong lady. She will be missed.
