Leave a tribute for Hazel Ruth Huskins Mashburn.
Lynette and family, I have such fond memories of both Aunt Hazel and Uncle Harvey. They exemplified what a Christian marriage was. It made a major impression in my life. Hazel was one of the kindest, warmest, sincerest people I have ever known. My life and many others were better for having her in it. Heaven is alittle sweeter now that she is with her savior. My love and prayers for you and family! Donna
Our love and prayers are with you, Teena, and all your family. God’s richest blessings to all of you. John and Valorie
Hazel was the best person I have ever known. I am happy to know that she and Harvey are together again. I know how much she missed him. Sending love to her family.
To Roger and Lynnette and Family- I remember when Lynnette and I would be playing in the backyard and Hazel would bring out big slices of homemade cake and milk for us. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She had such a beautiful smile and willing hands always. All of us at church will miss her and her soft voice. She was the best example of a Christian for our church ladies. We had good times at church meals because Hazel loved to prepare the meals and kid around with the committee. You have our deepest sympathy. --Bruce and Rama Jean
