Hazel loved to travel and especially enjoyed spending time in Virginia Beach with her son. Her lifelong dream was to go to Hawaii and when she was 99 years old her dream came to be as she traveled to Hawaii to visit her great-granddaughter and husband and her two week old great-great-grandson. She also made three trips to the Holy Lands. Hazel enjoyed teaching her granddaughter to crochet and working in her garden and then canning the vegetables that she grew. She also enjoyed spending time every week making cookies and playing Phase 10 with her son and son-in-law. Her husband, Clyde E. McNew, Sr., preceded her in death on April 30, 1977.
