She was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church - Bears Grass, rural Augusta. She graduated from Augusta High School in 1937.

McLeod on Sept. 15, 1951, at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Eau Claire. The couple lived all their married life in Eau Claire. In August of 2014, Hazel moved to Grace Willowbrook. Before her husband passed away in August of 2000, she and Don enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and Europe. She was also interested in collecting antiques and all types of jewelry. Through her church she enjoyed her involvement with St. Matthew’s Ladies Society and helping out at Bethesda Thrift Shop. Hazel especially looked forward to spending time with her extended family and many friends. As long as she was able, she always took part in all the family functions, often attending them as well as other outings with her niece Phyllis Heffernan. Hazel will be remember for her pleasant personality, and any time spent with her was not only enjoyable, but very memorable.
