Hazel Ross Diffie

Hazel Ross Diffie received her heavenly reward May 3, 2005 after and extended illness. She was born in Bismark, Arkansas May 23, 1912 and shortly after her marriage in 1935 moved to Bisbee, Arizona. In April 1944, her husband accepted a pastorate in the Phoenix area where she would spend the rest of her life. Hazel was much loved and for 31 years worked alongside her husband as pastors of 44th Street Church of God. She led many ministries of the church and worked for various community activities over the years. She was first of all a servant to her Lord Jesus Christ, a faithful and dedicated companion to her husband of 69 years, Hurschel, a loving and devoted Mother, a doting Grandma and Great-Grandma, and a wonderful friend and example to countless individuals. Hazel is survived by husband Hurschel, daughters Gayle and husband Robert Rodgers, Cumming, GA, daughter Gloria, Phoenix, AZ, grandchildren Bob and Melinda Rodgers, Snellville, GA, Dr. Jeff and Angie Rodgers, Norcross, GA, Tyanne and JP Miller, Sevierville, TN, and Rick and Melissa Youngkin, Camden, SC. Also great grandchildren Taylor, Cory, and Bobby Rodgers, Snellville, GA, and Jessie and Blake Rodgers, Norcross, GA. Undoubtedly, our loss is Heaven's gain. Services will be Friday, May 6th 1:30 PM at Parkway Community Church of God, 1751 E. Maryland Ave., Phoenix.
