Just when I think I’ve read the last obituary of someone born the same year as my grandmother, another one pops up. Hazel sounds like she had a lot of loss in her life, but met it forthrightly. Good going, Hazel.
She also lived long enough to see her name go out of fashion and come back into fashion. I know several Hazels among the under-10 set.
Me too!!! My great aunt Hazel was an incredible woman…who knows – our mythical child could have ended up as a Hazel.
And it is pretty incredible to be so long lived.
I never met your great aunt Hazel, but if her sweater is any indication, she was frigging amazing!
