Hazel Maureen Haney Kepford died after a brief illness on December 28, 2021 at the age of 95. She was born in Haslet, Texas to George and Lucille Haney on November 27, 1926. In 1945 she married Robert Jay Kepford and they made their home in Inglewood, California where they raised two daughters, Donna and Kay.  Hazel worked as a librarian until her retirement in the early 1990's, and remained very active afterwards, managing rental properties until she was 92.  Hazel was fun to be around and had a wonderful sense of humor.  She was a good cook and appreciated the latest fashions.  Devoted to her family, she cared for and provided for her younger daughter who had serious health problems in adult life.  And although she was widowed before she was 50, she never complained or felt that life had treated her unfairly.  She was a member of the Westchester United Methodist Church in Los Angeles.

Hazel was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her older daughter Donna Marie Kepford, and her sister, Marie Admire.  She is survived by her daughter, Kay Maureen Kepford of Norwalk, California, and her nephew Robert C. Admire of Lantana, Texas.
