Hazel married Frank F. Hunt on Sept. 26, 1927, in Helena, Okla., where 
they farmed. In 1937, Hazel and her family moved to Mason City, where she

She was a big Twins and Cubbies fan, and enjoyed sitting around the 
television and watching or listening to games. 

She loved to crochet afghans for all her grandchildren, fishing, working 
in the garden and canning vegetables. In later years, she enjoyed bus 
tours and spent countless hours working on family geneology.
