Condolences for Hazel M. (Ziegler) Stoll
0ur a sympathy in Hazel’s passing. Hazel and I taught in the same school in Rawlins, Wyoming back in the 1950’s. What a surprise when I signed a contract to teach in Postville, Iowa in the early 1960’s. Hazel was teaching in the same building a few doors down the hall from my classroom.
Hazel was one dedicated professional and worked hard to help students achieve success. She was a great educator.
Sending my heartfelt sympathy and prayers to Hazel’s loved ones. We enjoyed many years teaching together. Our classrooms were next to each other. We traveled, laughed, vented and enjoyed a friendship that continued even when our journeys went in new directions. This beautiful woman with a golden heart will be missed. Our memories remain. She is in God’s care. God be with you in the days ahead.
0ur sympathy and prayers in the passing of Hazel. She was a very special individual and such a dedicated professionl teacher. She worked hard to help students achieve success.
Hazel and I (Rupert) taught in the same school building in Rawlins, Wyoming in the 1950 era.
Much to my surprise I would again meet up with Hazel some years later when I taught in Postville, Iowa. She was teaching just a few doors down the hall from my classroom. Then before my retirement I had the opportunity to work with her in 0elwein, Iowa Schools.
