Hazel B. Tyler

Together, they raised four beautiful girls, and ultimately settled in Minden, La, where Ernie concluded his career at the Webster Parish School Board and Hazel retired from the Webster Parish Food Stamp Office.

As an active member of First Baptist Church Minden for over fifty years, Hazel enjoyed serving her church as often as possible, as a greeter, in the prayer room, and raising money for youth. Hazel was famous for her cooking, especially her fried pies and homemade bread. She was happiest serving others, and her greatest joy was her family.

Survived by daughters Rita Carrier & husband Barry, Mary Ann Newman and husband Dan, and Rala Tyler.
