In 2007, Hazel and her husband Bill won the mission award from her church for her dedication to service. She was involved with the House of Hope and has a true heart for helping others. Hazel was known as a great cook and enjoyed making hershey bar cakes, as well as fresh coconut cakes. She was a hands on grandmother and found great joy in playing and spending time with her grandchildren. In her free time, Hazel enjoyed gardening and working with her flowers.
