May 4, 1924 — April 22, 2009
WEST BOYLSTON/HOLDEN – Hazel I. (King) Hughes, 84, of Briarwood Circle, formerly of Dorothy Ave., Holden, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. She was the only child of Leslie and Hannah (Peterson) King. Her husband of 14 years, Harold "Babe" Hughes died in 1966.
She grew up in the Greendale area of Worcester. She was a part of Greendale People Church since her childhood. She taught Sunday school, sang in the choir, was a trustee, she was in charge of the knitting table for the church fair and made many pairs of mittens, hats and scarves. She was also a "Kitchen Angel" until the time of her death and helped prepare and serve hundreds of meals. She also volunteered at the Holden Senior Center and at the Assisted Living Center at Briarwood.
She is survived by two special nieces, Sandy Hughes Howland of Webster who spent many summers at the Cape with her, and Debbie Hughes Johnson and husband Scott of Auburn who made her happy by making many crafts for her apartment. Her other great-nieces and nephews, children of Debbie include Tammy, Cody, Kaylee and Seth and great-great nieces and nephews Joshua, Tavian and Kade. She also leaves her Godchild, Kim Howland Petrunia who breeds and shows Chow-Chow dogs. Hazel always referred to them as "her dogs." She is survived by her grand-nephew, Bob Howland and his wife Charlene and their children Allison and Justin and many other cherished nieces and nephews.
Hazel was proud of the fact that she started working at Heald Machine Co. the day after she graduated from North High School and retired from there forty-three years later. For over forty-years she owned a cottage at Curtis Pine Grove in Dennisport and as soon as it started getting warm, she was in her Ford, off to the Cape. She especially enjoyed sitting on the beach with all of her friends from the Grove.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 23rd, in the Greendale People's Church, Worcester. Burial will be private in Rural Cemetery, Worcester. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Memorial Fund at Greendale People's Church, 25 Francis Street, Worcester, MA 01606. Miles Funeral Home, 1158 Main Street, Holden is directing arrangements.
