Aunt Hazel was the best.  Her and Uncle Jack were one of the first ones their for us when Daddy died.  I know they loved him like a son.  Now her and daddy are together.

To Gracie and the Goddard Family, We were so sorry to hear of Hazel's passing. May God keep all of you close now and in the days to follow. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, 
Jeanette & Wayne Raby

So sorry for your loss.I’ve known Hazel all my life.A sweet lady.prayers for the family.

My first memory of Aunt Hazel was a typical Hazel wild ride! I had just moved to Knoxville and been inducted into the Goddard clan! She came by the pool store (on two wheels I might add) picked me and Aunt Gladys up to go to a pool seminar in West Knoxville.  Those two together had to be the funniest duo I have ever been around! They fussed and then laughed it off all while Aunt Hazel drove us doing 90 or nothing weaving in and out of traffic! She would looked in her rear mirror and say Daaahhhling you okay back there? Then wink and laugh that contagious laugh! I learned absolutely nothing at that seminar that day.  However the stories she told of my precious Mother in Law Julia and all their adventures was worth more than gold! You will be missed Aunt Hazel! I bet you’ve already had Julia and Memaw in tears giggling at you! Love Always 🩵 Shelly

Sister Hazel,Doing what she loved. Always a Smile. Just found out she had a Rock Group named after. Called "SISTER HAZEL". LOL  WILL TRULY MISS THIS FINE LADY.

Smith family, please accept my deepest condolences. Hazel (Mimi) was a beautiful person inside and out.  She was so  loving and kind to me when I had the pleasure of spending holidays with your family.  God Bless you in your time of sorrow.

Prayers for her family because they have lost a very special person in their world.  May God be with them as they start this new part of their lives without her. Prayers especially for Gracie & Gladys as they go on without their sister & best friend.

May God Bless you all with His amazing love
Mimi was such a special with love for all

I’m so sorry for her passing. She was such a beautiful soul, always with a smile on her face. We had some great talks at the car shows she will truly be missed.   Love,Pamela Neely

Mimi, It was an honor to meet you and be in your presence. I know my daddy up in heaven gets to meet you now and know that we’re all family. Sending prayers and virtual hugs to all. I love you Mimi smith, I couldn’t be blessed with another in law as great as you are to everyone you meet. Until we meet again continue to watch over everyone and continue to guide them with your strength.

One of the many crusin l had with Sister Hazel. Will miss her dearly. Was a most loving and caring person i know. Love you. Say hello to Snake for me.

Hazel always made us feel welcome when we were around her. She was funny and loved telling stories about her family. She was fun to be around and we will miss her. It is very hard to loose your Mama so lean into the Lord during these difficult and sad times. He will see you through. Time heals a broken heart.

Hazel was beautiful inside and out! I dearly loved that precious woman. I can’t EVER remember seeing her without a big smile on her face. She ALWAYS gave me a hug and told me she loved me.
My heart breaks for her entire family but especially for JACK, Scottie, Brian and Denise😢

I remember Bryan's 50th surprise birthday party and how full of life Hazel was. She strutted around with a huge smile and was very proud of her children. Her laugh was infectious and full of exuberance. She absolutely loved hearing all the stories of her boy. Her loving memory will certainly live on with everyone she met.

We send our deepest sympathy to Jack and the family in Hazel’s sudden passing.   She was our cherished friend and YHS 1959 classmate.  Hazel was a true joy and encouragement to all of us.  

She and Jack were at our last YHS classmates luncheon in July this year, and we so much enjoyed the time we spent sitting across the table from them and the conversation and fellowship we shared.  Hazel loved her classmates and had already spoken to me about planning for our 65th class reunion next year in 2024.  I am attaching a picture of Hazel and Jack enjoying our 60th reunion in July 2019 at Chops.  We are all saddened by Hazel’s unexpected passing.  Her kind and loving memory will always remain in our hearts.

Hazel was one of my best friends and she will be missed by all who knew her. The last time we talked I told her she was like my mother
and since I lost mine at a very young age she has always been there for me. My deepest sympathy to the family and you all will be in my prayers. Now we all have an angel watching over us. Rest in peace
Hazel until we meet again. I Love you so much!!!!
