Hazel McDonald

August 26, 1925 — November 15, 2013

Hazel was born August 26, 1925 to Gomer and Hallie Moore in Martin, KY. She was one of 14 children.
She left home at the age of 17 and moved to Massachusetts to work in an airplane factory during WWII as a Rosie the Riveter.
After the war, she moved to Rittman, where she met the love of her life. She married Watt McDonald on August 19, 1946 and they were married for 61 years.
Hazel was known for her amazing pies, vegetable pizza and texas sheet cakes. She loved to bowl and play cards.
Watt and Hazel were blessed with a set of twins, Theresa Starr and Watt David Jr. Sadly, both of them preceded their parents in death. Watt passed in 2007.
Hazel is survived by her granddaughter that she raised after the death of Starr – Stacy (Alan) Flaisman and beloved Maw-Maw to Justin and Alyssa Flaisman. She is also survived by grandchildren Bonita (Larry) Covey and Kyle (Kim) McDonald; great-grandchildren Darian and Austin Covey and David and Landon McDonald.
She is survived by sisters Marge Goodman, Loretta Tuttle, Kay Stevenson, Emma Daniels and Judy Adams; brothers John B. Moore, Carmel Moore, Calvin Moore and Gary Moore and many nieces and nephews. Hazel was also much loved by her extra daughters Suzanne Bachman, Amy Keck and Kelli Thomas.
