Hazel Baulch Obituary

Nettleton- Hazel O. Morton Baulch died at her home on Sunday morning December 22, 2024 surrounded by her family. Hazel was born on January 1, 1943 to Lillie May Seymore Morton and Curtis Eugene Morton. She attended Nettleton High School and earned a cosmetology license which was a lifetime dream of hers. She worked for many years as a seamstress in the garment and furniture industries, later retiring from Peoplelounger Furniture in Nettleton. She was a member of Nettleton First Baptist Church and loved her church family. Hazel enjoyed traveling, gardening, reading mystery books, puzzles, shopping, camping, and spending time with her large family. Her yard in the springtime was magazine worthy. John Grisham was her favorite author and she has read almost all of his books. She was the biggest cheerleader for her grandchildren's sports. She was called "Granny" by not only her grandchildren but by many others. She supported the Nettleton Tigers with all her might and influenced so many by showing her love and support. If she knew you, she loved you, if you knew Granny, you loved Granny.
