Einfalt, Hazel Reagan—age 92, a beautiful lady, a loving mother and grandmother, and a child of God, left this life on Thursday, October 16, 2003. She taught school for a total of 37 years, all at Chilhowee Elementary with 14 years in 1st grade and 23 years in 3rd grade. She also worked for 6 years at the U.T. Registrar’s Office.

Carlene,
I know your relationship with your Mom was so close and having her gone will be very difficult for you. Please know that you both are in our prayers and that you will be comforted. I pray Matthew will know this peace and comfort too.
Love,

Mrs. Einfalt was a lovely person. I was fortunate to have had her as my 3rd grade teacher and years later, she taught my daughter's 3rd grade class. We both remember her kindness and sweet nature. Our sympathy and prayers go out to her family.

Hazel was a patient when I worked at her Dental office. She was the sweetest lady there ever was. She just made you feel so happy when you talked to her. I always enjoyed her when she came in. She was such a pleasure everytime.
I haven't seen her in maybe 6 years but her ray of sunshine will always stay with me. To know her was to love her......
