Hazel was a Tuscaloosa native, graduating from Tuscaloosa County High. She worked for the Central Foundry until 1966. She would later join her husband, George, beginning a business providing appliances and lighting to the surrounding area. It started as Lighting and Appliance and later was known as Lighting Plus. Hazel’s passion was product selection at the various markets and was excellent at showroom design. Her favorite time of the year was changing the showroom into a Christmas shopping destination. She made it magical. With much success, Lighting Plus stood as a testimony to her hard work and creativity. Hazel was an active member of Alberta Methodist Church and later First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa. She really enjoyed activities with "Triple L". She loved being around other ladies and especially going on trips with the group. Hazel was a good and faithful servant to her family and for her Lord Jesus Christ.

Active pallbearers will be her grandsons, Eric Kirkland, Todd Kirkland, Rand Cooper, Colby Mouchette, great-grandchildren Coleman Cooper, Greyson Cooper, and sons-in-law, Don Kirkland and Bill Baker. The family would like to thank Betty Tubbs and the staff of Hospice of West Alabama for taking such good care of Hazel. In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to donate Hospice of West Alabama, First Baptist of Tuscaloosa, or to the charity of your choice.
