Hazel and Stanley came to Roswell in 1930 where they farmed at East Grand Plains for many years. During her 93 years, she saw and experienced many changes in the world. Presidents came and went, nations rose and fell. She lived through the Great Depression, two world wars, the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the fall of communism. Through it all she was a humble homemaker and a faithful member of Tabernacle Baptist Church. She spoke of the hardships of farm life, but to her it wasnt hard, it was just life. She was proud of her family and very thankful shed raised God-fearing daughters. She was famous for her wonderful pies and beautiful alto voice. She taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, in trios and quartets, and often with her brother Leon. She was dearly loved and respected by all, and will be sorely missed until that Blessed Day when the roll is called up yonder.
