Hazel Evelyn Seale

The family of Hazel Evelyn Seale of Mandeville, Louisiana is saddened to announce her passing on Friday, April 14, 2023 at the age of 76. She was a long-time member of the Tangipahoa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Strawberry Patch Quilters. She loved sewing and crocheting. She was known as the “rip Nazi” in her sewing group, if your stitches were not up to par. She especially loved her time with her grandsons and spoiling them “just a little” were her greatest joy.

Hazel leaves behind her children Richard “Rick” Darouse, III (Jun) and Ashley Darouse Heard (Zach); beloved grandchildren Zachary Taylor Heard V, Tanner Reice Heard, Austin Michael Heard, and Darien Alexandar Darouse; sister Francine Seale Dodson and sister-in-law Donna Hawthorne Seale.

Hazel was preceded in death by her parents Francis Marion and Hazel Oliver Seale, brother Vaughn Seale and brother-in-law Ron Dodson, and her lifetime good friend June Martin.

A private celebration with family and friends will be held on April 29, 2023 at her daughters home in Mandeville, LA.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in memory may be made to Serenity By the Lake. Donations may be mailed to 3300 Monroe Street, Mandeville, Louisiana 70448.
