Hazel Marie was a beloved figure in her community and the cherished owner of Fairview Auto Parts, a business she ran alongside her husband, Ed Buttrey, for 30 years.

Hazel was not only dedicated to her work but also deeply engaged in her community. She and Ed were active members of the Fairview Chamber of Commerce, contributing to their town for many years. Her commitment to her faith was evident as she was a devoted member of First Baptist Church for 60 years.

In her personal life, Hazel found joy in being outdoors. She loved working in her yard, raking leaves, and picking up sticks. Gardening with Ed was a favorite pastime, and cooking was a labor of love for her. She had a special talent for making delicious meals for her family, particularly her renowned fried pies that will be fondly remembered by all.
