Hazel Wyant gained her angel wings on April 24, 2021, at the age of 81. Family surrounded her in her Kentwood, Michigan home following a 2-year battle with cancer.

On January 22, 1940, Hazel was born to parents Harold and Vida Hess in Danville, Illinois. She was a 1958 graduate at Scottland High School. Hazel then moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she worked as a switchboard operator. She married Ronald L. Thomure and settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to raise their two children. On March 8, 1997, Hazel was married to Earl T. Wyant and resided in Kentwood, Michigan. Together, they enjoyed camping and traveling throughout the country, visiting many historical sites. Their favorite time of year was when they temporarily relocated and lived in Florida throughout the winter months. Hazel and Earl were members of several square dance clubs and members of the Michigan in Motion performance group. Hazel also enjoyed gardening, coloring, and reading in her spare time.

Hazel is survived by her husband of 24 years Earl T. Wyant, her loving children Terri Drake (Perry Johnson), Michael (Nina) Thomure, stepson Timothy (Elizabeth) Wyant, her grandchildren Anthony and Dallas Drake, Samantha and Zoie Thomure, Trenton and Mackenzie Wyant, brother Dane (Judy) Hess, sister Connie (Kerry) Simpson, and many nieces and nephews.
