She will be reunited with her sister Lillian Palmer and brother Nelson Best. Hazel will be greeted at the gates of Heaven by her father Beecher Thomas Best and mother Ruth Alice Ramsay. Hazel will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and friends. Hazel was never married and had no children. Her life was full from the time she left Prince Edward Island in 1937 at the age of 16 and headed to Boston where she stayed until 1948. She then moved to Seattle until 1954. Hazel then moved to San Francisco and this is where she called home and stayed in the same apartment from October 1954 until May 2011 Hazel was a very independent woman that loved to travel and had seen most of the world. To family and friends she was an inspiration. She enjoyed the company of many people and also spent some of her time at several senior centers. She was a member of the Canadian Woman's Club, The Breakfast Club and each day would head to the Greco Cafe to meet with some of her dear friends. It was a wonderful life!!
