Hazel was very special to me when I started working at Hamilton National Bank on August 15th 1965. I used to call her to find the history of customers who had installment loans with us. She worked with Kay Leake and Ed Leuallen in the Commercial Branch next to the Tennessee Theater. Hazel was a wonderful lady and I always enjoyed aggravating her. She will be missed.

Hazel was a member of my Gadabouts years ago, when she was still able to drive. I always enjoyed knowing her. She was a very caring person. She was always concerned about other people, even though she herself had troubles.
