For 70 years she was a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Cardinal Gibbens. She also enjoyed participating in the local Study Club.
Hazel was a wife and mother first, last and always. It was through her life that she taught her family about living, loving, patience, suffering, humility and above all, trust in God.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, or a charitable organization of your choice.
