Hazel was born in Providence, Rhode Island on September 22, 1931 to the late Walter Wood and Margaret Ruth Lamphere Wood.  On February 16, 1952 she married the love of her life, Albert Lindsey Huffman. Being a Navy family, they relocated several times during their life living in Rhode Island, Florida and Texas. When Al finally retired from the military in 1966, he and Hazel moved their family to Carrollton where they lived for the remainder of their lives.
Hazel was an outgoing person who never met anyone she didn't like.  She was well known for her keen sense of humor, her distinctive "Yankee" accent and her caring for others. She was a member of Carrollton United Methodist Church and had a great love for the Lord.  She will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, doting grandmother and best friend to many.
Hazel was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband of 50 years, Al Huffman; her daughter, Ginny Cox; her sisters, Florence Barchi, Chestina Pulsifer, Ruth Menders and Hazel's twin sister, Helen Andrade and her brothers, Eugene Wood, Walter Wood, George Wood and Harold Wood.
