The passing of Ms. Hazel marks an end to a rich era at Christ The King. Her energy, enthusiasm and warm smile was a fixture for so many years. She was a very special friend to my mother, Evelyn and will be deeply missed.

May God grant you comfort in knowing how well loved and respected she was.

To the Cronin Family,
I am a long-time member of Christ The King Dads' Club and worked many functions in the cafeteria with Hazel and Bernie teaching us how run the kitchen. I remember all of the good time we had with them. Hazel was a blast to work with and although she has not been with us in the kitchen in several years, she will be missed.
