She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Bugg Cozart, daughter and son-in-law, Linda and Mike Coskey, daughter-in-law, Rhonda Cozart, brothers Arvil Diffee and Butch Diffee, and sisters Bettye Rust and Margaret Thomas.
During her lifetime she mastered many creative crafts adding her own special touch of artistry to each project, but she was most passionate about and well known for her extraordinary quilts. Each quilt was created from her heart; each one as unique and "one of a kind" as she was, so to have and cherish one of Hazel's quilts is to have a part of her heart with you always.
