    Her family was the most important thing to her. She spent many hours with her grandchildren combing the beaches looking for seashells. Seashells, buttons, baskets and rocks from various travels were all part of her cherished collections, as well as making family photo albums. As an only child Hazel grew up under the watchful eye of her loving parents. She was a long-time believer in the Pentecostal faith. It was at Rogers, Ark. where she met and courted the love of her life, William Arthell Taylor. They spent many of their dates and social activities at church or the corner drug store. After William proposed, at the top of a ferris wheel, they were married in Rogers, Ark., Aug. 16, 1946. Their favorite song was, "Have I told you lately that I love you". They celebrated 48 years of marriage before his death on Oct. 17, 1994.
