Virginia M. Hazlett

home in Centerville, surrounded by her loving family, on April 28.

She was the beloved wife of Thomas J. Hazlett, her husband of 69

years.

Born in Waltham, Virginia was the daughter of Albert and Dorothy

(Hodge) Ravell. She was a graduate of Belmont High School and during

World War II she worked several months for Army Intelligence before

joining her husband, a Naval Officer, in California.

As the spouse of a career Foreign Service officer, “Ginny” enjoyed the

culture and lifestyle of their assignments in Latin America, Europe,

and Japan. In every location, she focused her efforts on improving

the lives of the less fortunate, especially children. She taught

first and second grade in Chile and Dominican Republic.

Notwithstanding these great years, her real loves were her children

and her church. Upon their retirement to Cape Cod, Virginia started

Loma Linda, a small business that imported collectibles from Portugal.

Always dedicated to helping others, she was a member of the Women’s

Guild at Our Lady of Victory Church, and other charitable

organizations such as Meals on Wheels. She will be remembered by all

for her inimitable smile.

In addition to her husband, Virginia is survived by her brother

Charles Ravell of Hampton, NH, and sister Gloria Hopkins of Danvers,

MA; two daughters, Sandra Waldmiller (Paul) of Houston, TX, and Susan

Hazlett of Centerville; daughter-in-law Katharine Kincaid;

grandchildren Paul, Jennifer, Geoffrey, Holly, Mychael, Jamie, Thomas

III (Joey), James (Chip), and Vanessa; and great-grandchildren Jessica

and Henry. Virginia was predeceased by her son, Thomas, Jr., and

sister Marjorie Peters.

The family wishes to extend its heartfelt gratitude to “Katie” and

“Kathleen” as well as to Hope Hospice for their devoted and loving

care.
