At an early age she was interested in art. She loved to sketch and soon was sketching people. She was also a poet winning a contest with her poem, “The Wishing Well” in 1975 from the Clover International Poetry competition. Hazel loved music and loved to sing with her beautiful voice. In the mid 1940’s, she moved to the Fort Worth, Dallas area where she worked as a photographers model, did volunteer work for several organizations including a group of young ladies who went to McKinney Hospital volunteering to write letters to the families of severely wounded soldiers. With Hazel’s sweet personality and caring influence, she helped many young men begin to rehabilitate. This happened in 1945 when World War II was ending.
