Born on January 27, 1934, in Church Point, Louisiana, to Alphan and Rita Boudreaux, Hazel lived a life marked by kindness, love, and devotion to her family. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially woodworking, sewing, and crafting. Her warm smile, quick wit, patience, and compassionate spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew.
