“Miss Hazel”.🥰 What a blessing! I will miss the talks, she always, any day, had a kind, uplifting word or thought to give you. And the stories! They will be remembered. You would see her on the bus doing her crossword puzzles, you knew it would be a spirited ride to your destination. A true Christian, indeed. Thank God for you and thank you for sharing your time. You were an amazing person, gifted beyond measure. I’ll miss those hugs too!  Our condolences to the family.🙏🏽

Aunt Hazel, words can not adequately express the impact you had on so many.  You lifted the hearts of so many people by just being you!  You were always smiling, willing to help others and sharing your dancing exercise which brought joy to you and so many others!  We are going to miss you so much Aunt Hazel but God was ready for you to come on home and bring your joyous upbeat spirit with you!  Rest Easy Aunt Hazel!  Another Community Legend spread her wings and went home to be with the Lord!

Rest well Ms Hazel! I used to work at Fulton Bank downtown and she would always come in and put stickers on the money envelopes in the branch and I always would say hello when I saw her downtown- Lancaster lost a great lady!

Well, “Aunt Hazel” you blew up the internet one last time Rest Easy🙏🏾
1) The first time I saw this was when you were featured having lunch at Blazzin J’s
2) Second time was when Champ took you to a birthday dinner 
3) Third time was highlighting your 98th birthday 
4) Fourth time was doing what I will always remember you by…DANCING downtown at Lancasterfest!
If there’s one thing you knew it was “One thing about good music when it hits you, you feel no pain “(in my Bob Marley voice)
Your smile and strut could be witnessed marching down the isles or at your seat in church, at a family celebration or any celebration. I imagine you have probably been spotted dancing down the aisles of the supermarket if the music was good!😂
One time you attended a backyard family party at my house, and you sat there the whole time you were there. We kept prodding you to get up and dance and your reply was that someone had put up a video on Facebook of you dancing at a function and you were later somewhat chastised for dancing. 
I was so saddened to see this because it looked like it broke your spirit all the way down. But guess what y’all she got her spirit back and as someone said to me yesterday, she got her last dance in at Lancasterfest.
I can imagine you not “walking around heaven all day” but dancing around heaven all day💃🏾
May her spirit, spunk, and feistiness encourage us all!

Your dear friend from Mercer Ave days Mary Boots n family, sorry for your lost Gantt family 

July 26, 2022

It was only a few weeks ago that we saw a photo of Hazel dancing to some outdoor music, and we rejoiced that she was still alive and active. For many years, until the COVID pandemic, I and several others on Saturday morning stood on the courthouse steps on East King Street with our signs asking passers-by to support Peace and Justice in this town, state, country and the World. Almost every Saturday Hazel walked by us on her way to Market or otherwise downtown, and she always gave us a hearty encouraging greeting and a warm hug as she went on her way.  We were uplifted by her loving concern for the bringing of Peace and Justice to our community and the World. 
Dear Hazel, you were a vital support then and you are one now. May you rest in peace and your loving spirit stay with us all.

My condolences to the Gantt family. She was a lot of fun when I had her on my route to Park City Mall. I liked teasing her when she would be doing her cross word puzzle or search a word.

Rest in Heaven Ms Hazel.

Rest in peace, Miss Hazel.  You lived a good, long life & still dancing just a few weeks ago & still walking to wherever you wanted & needed to go.  You will be missed.
