Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Hazel Teel

September 12, 1930 – August 19, 2025

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we gather to honor the remarkable life of Hazel Teel, a beloved soul, and guiding light whose presence left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered.

Born on September 12, 1930, Hazel's life was a testament to strength, grace, and unwavering faith. Throughout her 94 years, she embodied wisdom, kindness, and a generosity of spirit that touched countless lives. Hazel had a remarkable ability to uplift those around her with words of encouragement, a warm smile, and a heart that always had room for others.

Hazel was known for her elegance and charm, but it was her unwavering devotion to her family and community that truly defined her. She believed deeply in the power of faith, family, and fellowship. Whether offering heartfelt advice, preparing meals that brought loved ones together, or sharing stories filled with wit and wisdom, Hazel created a legacy of love and unity that will continue for generations.

Beyond her role as the matriarch of her family, Hazel inspired all who knew her with her dedication to service and her steadfast commitment to living life with purpose and compassion. Her home was a place of warmth and comfort, her life a shining example of perseverance and grace.

She leaves behind a loving family and a host of friends who will forever cherish the memories of her laughter, her guidance, and her boundless love. Though she has transitioned from this earthly life, the impact of her kindness and the beauty of her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

As we celebrate Hazel's life, we do so with joy for the time we were blessed to share with her and with peace in knowing that she now rests in eternal light and love.
