She was born October 31, 1932 in Slate Mills (Ross County), OH to the late Albert and Dorothy Banks Harris, the second youngest of six children.

Hazel retired from the Chillicothe City Schools in 1999 as an educational aide. She was a 1950 graduate of Unioto High School, where she excelled in music with honors, and was the church musician for several years at First Baptist Church. She was a good natured person and will be greatly missed. She gained friendship through her skills in the kitchen.
