I remember her as such a funny lady. I do remember her son Jimmy and Mary. We were all related through my Great Uncle Theodore Muskopf and my Grandmother Theresa Muskopf Esselborn. We had some fun summer days in Red Bud. She will be missed.

ReplyI am so sorry to hear of Hazels passing. She worked with my mother Vivian, and she was a good friend of hers. We always had lots of laughs when she would stop by and visit. May she rest in peace, God be with the family.

ReplyHazel was a very funny lady. I have many great memories of Hazel. She was a wonderful grandma and mother. I remember being at her house in Red Bud and helping her clean. Wow I had never seen a person clean like Hazel. She removed the drawers of the dressers and dusted in side the dresser. Tipped furniture upside down. She was an awesome person. So glad I got to know Hazel.
