Hazel M. Frazier was born July 29, 1899, in Hampton, Iowa, a daughter of Nels Peterson and Minnie (nee) Ashworth Peterson. She attended schools in Hampton. After marrying Milton G. Frazier on Sept. 22, 1917, in Hampton, she invested almost 50 years of her life in the farming business throughout the rural communities of North Iowa.

She moved to Mason City in 1943 and resided there until she moved to Kenosha, Wis., in 1990 to make her home with her daughter, Frances, and her family. Hazel continually showed her love through her God-given gift of writing cards and letters of encouragement. Her sweet spirit came from her faith in God and she touched the lives of all her family and friends.

"Our precious mother and grandmother was greatly loved and will be missed.''

Hazel was a member of Calvary Alliance Church, Birthday Club and Golden Ages and loved gardening, cooking, baking and her church.

Survivors include her daughters, Mildred Crosby of Independence, Kan., Frances Merfeld and her husband, Wayne, of Kenosha, Wis., and Dorothy Heinold and her husband, Ronald, of Mason City; two sons, Leonard Frazier and his wife, Marian, of Northwood, and Maurice Frazier and his wife, Marlene, of Glenville, Minn.; 19 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and two stepgreat-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, infant son, Dewitt, and four sisters, Vera, Ethel, Frances and Anna.
