She was born in Houston, Texas on November 19, 1941. Hazel Marie went to Jeff Davis High school and family and friends knew her by her middle name, Marie, also called Aunt Marie, of course by her children it was Mommy, Mama, Mom and by her grandchildren as Gee and Grandma.
Marie had a career in the banking industry for many years that began with Lockwood National Bank, then First Interstate Bank.
Her last career spanned over 10 years with Dillard’s and retired in 2008.
She enjoyed being with her family and friends - vacationing together was a yearly highlight. She also enjoyed traveling, shopping, decorating, cooking, and playing cards and dominos. She adored her family and her friends. And her friends were family to her. She looked forward every year to her Galveston vacations and also yearly trips with her best friend to Indiana.
Marie was strong in so many ways, especially in her faith - a true believer in Christ! She was the heart of her small family. Family was #1. She was a proud parent for sure! And, her grandchildren hung the moon - she loved them beyond measure. She also was a very proud daughter - her mother and father were the heroes of her life.
