Hazel Owens was my beloved older sister and I will remember her
with love, laughter, and hope. She was a funny, sweet person. She
will be sorely missed by so many people.
Hazel was always in command of her life--so positive and joyful.
She was well organized and independent. About five years ago she
planned her own funeral, even writing her own obituary. Arvella
and i loved her so much. - Ivan J Adair
