Hazel called Myrtle Beach home since 1975. She was active with friends on the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, with many activities including the bowling league and Bunco. She went to work in 1983 for Green’s Discount Beverages where she worked for nearly 30 years before retiring in 2012.  She loved to play Bingo with her best friend of over 40 years, June Bienlich.  Her sister Ann lived next door for about 30 years before moving in with Hazel to take care of her as the Alzheimer’s advanced.

Thankfully, she was able to remain home in the care of her sister until May 2020.  She was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Services and celebration of life for her and her sister will be held on November 21, 2020 at Surfside United Methodist Church at 2pm.
