A proud graduate of Moss High School's class of 1958. She married the love of her life, James Lott, on May 17, 1958, in Oklahoma. Their journey together took them to Kansas for a time, but it was in McAlester, Oklahoma, where they planted their roots and built a lifetime of memories.
Hazel's role as a homemaker was one she cherished deeply, often being celebrated as the best homemaker. Her chocolate fried pies became a symbol of her love and care, a treat that earned recognition far and wide. Hazel's nurturing spirit led her to create a warm and loving home for her family. Her love for children was immeasurable, and she extended that love to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment.
Hazel found peace and happiness in camping and fishing, sharing these passions with her family and friends. She enjoyed taking road trips and navigating the family camper to California and beyond.
Hazel's faith was the cornerstone of her life. A long-time member of Calvary Baptist Church, she lived her beliefs through acts of kindness and a commitment to her community
Hazel was an enthusiastic basketball player in her younger years, and her love for the game was only matched by her love for all of her children, to whom she always held a special place in her heart.
