A Special Acknowledgment of Love and Care

There are some people whose love and dedication deserve special recognition. Hazel's niece, my cousin, Sharon Jones, was my mother's secondary caregiver, quietly providing love, support, and care behind the scenes. Sharon, she truly loved you. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and the compassion you showed Mom long before her illness.

Patricia Williams, you loved Mom, and you never stopped being there for her. Your continued love, kindness, and presence meant more than words can express. Our family is forever grateful.

A Life of Hard Work, Entrepreneurship, and Generosity

Hazel and her husband, Jim Webb, were hardworking entrepreneurs who owned and operated a car cleaning business on Martin Mill Pike and a service station on McCalla Avenue, now known as Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Hazel also managed their convenience store and deli, C-Mart, on McCalla Avenue.

Hazel was a friend to everyone she met and had a particularly special love for children. She possessed an enormous and generous heart and found great joy in shopping for children and making them happy. Giving came naturally to her, and she expressed her love through thoughtful gestures and acts of kindness.

Hazel's warmth, generosity, friendship, and loving spirit will never be forgotten. She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her and experiencing the joy of being in her presence.
