Hazel was born to Joseph Thomas Martin and Viola Criswell Martin Nash on March 10, 1932 in Skellytown, Texas. She graduated from Plainview High School in 1950 as a senior favorite. Hazel was the go-to person for her family and friends, to seek advice from anything that they might be going through. She always had good advice to redirect her loved ones in a positive direction and left everyone feeling good and hopeful about themselves. She was an artist who loved to paint, dance, and travel but most of all she loved to talk, talk, talk. She had a sharp wit and a great sense of direction. No GPS needed. Everyone who knew Hazel well, knew she was the life of the party. That's where she got her nickname, Hazelnut. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends and especially her buddy, CoCo and her grand-dogs, Jett and Lilly.
She is survived by her children; Monte Gregg of Farmers Branch, TX, Lucretia Howe and husband, Tom, of Telford, PA, Keevin Gregg of Lockney, TX, and Sharla Gregg of Plainview, Texas. Grandchildren; Marissa Ewing of Davenport. IA, Chris Howe of Telford, PA, Justin Gregg of Farmers Branch, TX, and Julia Gregg of Farmers Branch, TX
Hazel is preceded by her parents, sister; Bettye Jo Hays, and a niece; Jeanne Askew.
