Hazel was a woman whose life was marked by genuine warmth and a deep devotion to those she cared for. As a talented cosmetologist, she brought style and cheer to many, but her passions extended far beyond her craft. She loved the outdoors, finding peace in gardening. Hazel & Larry found a second home at Indian Creek Campground in Cherokee, North Carolina, where they formed many friendships and hiked numerous miles amongst the trails and mountains. Hazel took immense pride in her role as a nanny, pouring her love and care into the children with whom she loved. Music and dancing were a passion shared between she and her husband. She cherished simple connections, whether enjoying games, engaging in lively talking, or, most significantly, celebrating and supporting her family, who remained the greatest source of joy and pride throughout her life.
She was preceded in death by her Father, Lavell Crain; her Mother, Ollie Sorrell Kennedy; and two Sisters, Joan Bray, Vicky Corrora.
She is survived by her Husband of thirty-eight years, Larry Lamkin of Picayune; one Son, Bruce Lamkin (Jody), of Evans Creek, Louisiana; five Daughters, Michelle Evans (Renee), of Picayune, Lynnette Evans Provost, Tena Dumestre (Rene), of Bush, Louisiana, Shonna Lamkin, of Slidell, Louisiana, Sharon Long (Mike), of Orange, Texas; one Brother, Reid Kennedy (Jan), of Pine, Louisiana; three Sisters, Tommie Ruth Bullock (Ken), of Oloh, Linda Rimes, of Bogalusa, Louisiana, Donna Faye Freeman (Dudley), of Angie, Louisiana; five Grandchildren, Ethan Lamkin (Kimi), of Pearl River, Louisiana, Katti Wyatt (Jonny), of Slidell, Louisiana, Lance Kenworthey (Rebecca), of Evans Creek, Louisiana, Katerina Hall (Christopher), of Centreville, Tennessee, Karleigh Provost, of Ashland City, Tennessee; seven Great Grandchildren; one Brother-In-Law, Mike Corrora, of Stateline, Louisiana; one Aunt, Ladette Thomas, of Sandy Hook; and many Nieces, Nephews, and Cousins.
