Hazel Rogers

Velva

Hazel L. Rogers, 83, Velva, died Friday, May 19, at Souris Valley Nursing Home in Velva.

Hazel Lorraine Coffin was born September 14, 1939, a daughter of William R. and Hazel (Reed) Coffin. She attended grade school at Truax Trauer coal mine, and high school in Velva, graduating in 1957.

On November 16, 1957, Hazel was united in marriage to her best friend, Jack Rogers, and together they raised four children. When the children were older, Hazel became a paraprofessional in the Velva kindergarten classroom. Hazel also began to take classes in all forms of painting and became very skilled, especially in floral pictures. She was active in the United Methodist Church, Early Bird Homemakers Club and the Good Sam Club and local camping group.

She and Jack enjoyed many camping and travel adventures with friends and family. After Jack’s retirement, they volunteered their time in Medora, served as volunteer security at an Alaskan school, acted as campground hosts and traveled to Hawaii. In 2016, Hazel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and she and Jack decided to make Valley View Manor their home. When Jack died in April 2019, she received support and comfort from many lifelong friends and neighbors.

Survivors include: Children, Debra (Dr. Steve) Baune, Rosholt, SD; Jacqueline (Rev. Glenn) Hoskins, Victorville, CA; Dean (Joyce) Rogers, Forrest City, Iowa; and Glenda (Doug) Lindberg, South Dakota.

A kind, gentle, loving woman, she will be greatly missed.
