Hazel Weitzel Obituary

Hazel Arlene (Bryan) Weitzel, 71, passed away peacefully on Sunday at her home in Coral Springs after a long battle with cancer. Hazel always looked for ways to celebrate life and honor others, and she found great joy in giving small gifts to others to make them feel special or appreciated. Hazel is survived by her husband, three children, five grandchildren, other relatives and dear friends. There will be a Celebration of Life service at First Church of Coral Springs on Saturday, October 17 at 11:00am. Hazel requested that anyone considering memorial flowers to please instead give flowers to someone else to brighten their day.

I watched Hazel grow up as we went to school together and neighbored with her family in farming. She was a fine person. It's been a long time Gary since we climbed poles together at People's Telephone. How quickly the years have passed. My deepest sympathy for your great loss to this tragic disease. Bob Niggel

Hazel was my older sister. She was always my role model. She made a difference in everyone's life that she touched especially all the children she taught over 30 years and her three beautiful children. Rest in peace my sweet sweet sister. I will miss you so much .

Mrs. Weitzel was my PE teacher in 6th grade. Kirby was a dear friend. I remember Mrs. Weitzel and her class like it was yesterday and it was 33 years ago. She was a wonderful teacher, role model and mom. She always had a smile on her faces and teased me about clogging up her phone line at night (I'll never forget that). My deepest sympathies to the Weitzal family. Your mom touched the lives of so many young people. I know that for sure because I am an educator now too. She was inspirational.
