The good Lord has finally welcomed Hazel to reunite with her deceased husband, son, and all of her Simensen family. Hazel led an extremely active life for at least 106 years. Her talents in music and art kept her happy as well as her many friends in her beloved Rio Verde community in Arizona. She felt so lucky to have belonged to that community from its earliest days in 1974. “The people are just wonderful.”
Hazel Peterson, 107, of Rio Verde and recently of Fountain Hills, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022. She was born on Oct. 28, 1915, to parents Marie and Carl Simensen in Duluth, Minn.
