Hazel leaves behind her son, Royden (Sonia) Hebb, and her daughter, Jo-Anne (Jeff) Wentzell, as well as her cherished grandchildren: Taylor, Lauren, Jaime, Kate, Adam, and Danielle. Hazel found joy in square dancing every Saturday with the Sunrise Square Dancing Club. She was actively involved in the 4-H community as a leader and dedicated her time volunteering with the Ladies Auxiliary for the Wileville Fire Department. Family camping trips to Mush-A-Mush were among her favorite memories. In her later years, Hazel enjoyed watching curling tournaments and FBI shows on TV. She loved playing card games with her grandchildren while sharing tea and cookies. Hazel also took pleasure in reading, gardening, and going for Sunday drives with her husband. Her warmth, love, and gentle spirit will be missed.
