Mrs. Newman was born on November 8, 1908 in Beaver County, OK to Ben and Sara Cravey Green on the farm they had homesteaded. Hazel attended Amarillo High School for one year. She then attended and graduated from Booker High School. She married W.C. “Skinny” Newman in 1930 in Amarillo, while he worked for the Santa Fe Railroad. Hazel was a long time member of Polk Street United Methodist and the Suzanna Wesley Sunday School class. Hazel worked for G.M.A.C. and then later for the Potter County Rationing Board during the WWII. She was an outstanding seamstress and made many of the clothes for her family and friends. She also loved quilting and made many quilts for her family and as items to be sold to raise money for her Church, Sunshine Cottage and other charities. Hazel had impaired hearing and wore hearing aids all of her adult life, but that never slowed her down in her work for her family and Church. Mrs. Newman moved to San Antonio several years ago to be near her daughter and her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband; two brothers, Earl and Raymond Green; and her sister, Alice Green Hoover.
Survivors include her son, Don and wife Berniece Newman of Ft.
