She will long be remembered for her 46 years of dedication to the Desnoyers family, working retail for Desnoyers Hardware. In her free moments Hazel enjoyed playing cards, gardening, cooking -especially in the fall and her "special" recipe for cooking pheasant! Second to none though was her love of spending time with her family, being around people, especially the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren. She thoroughly enjoyed picking them up from school, taking them to and from events. Preceding her in death were her parents, husband Harold, daughter-in-law, Deb (Wookey) Reidburn, 3 brothers, and 2 brothers-in-law. Survivors include her children, William (Donna) Reidburn of Watertown, Harold Jr. "Ray" (Jacki) Reidburn of Prescott Valley, AZ, Lon (Teresa) Reidburn of Clark and Sharon (Bruce) Milton of Brandt, SD, 12 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
