Hazel was a life time member of the Mora Grange, a member of the Kuna Nazarene Church, The Girls Birthday Club and the Jazzie Red HatClub.

(THANK YOU to the Girls Birthday Club!) After our father passed away in 1974, Hazel and our mother stayed on the farm until 1986 and then moved together into an Assisted Living Facility.
