She also was a community leader and a member of the Utah Daughters of Pioneers. Her work ethics were developed as a child and she worked at Maddox for over 30 years.
Hazel has entertained audiences with her original readings and skits throughout her life and brought laughter and joy into many lives. She always had a quick wit and sense of humor.
She will always be remembered for her gracious and thoughtful manners and sharing her many talents of cooking and sewing with others.
