Hazel began this life on February 16, 1933, in Saint Jo to Gertie (Larison) and Frank Graham. She attended school in Saint Jo. Hazel married the love of her life, Johnnie Lee Sampson on May 16, 1952. He preceded her in death on March 12, 1999.
Hazel worked for several different nursing homes around Montague County, Texas and the Russell Newman Sewing Factory for several years. She was a lifetime member of the VFW in Gainesville. Hazel enjoyed spending time with all her family, putting puzzles together, painting, coloring, sewing, embroidery by hand, fishing, listening to karaoke at the VFW, and dancing.
