Hazel E. Adams, 83, passed away on August 10, 2024, in Auburn, WA. Born on August 9, 1941, in Kansas, Hazel was a vibrant and joyful presence, known for her love of traveling to Leavenworth, her deep commitment to family and community, and her cherished dog, Sugarplum. Their bond was truly special; Sugarplum was not just a pet, but a beloved companion who brought Hazel endless joy and comfort. Together, they shared countless adventures, with Sugarplum often accompanying Hazel on her scooter as they explored their neighborhood and enjoyed the outdoors.

Hazel's faith was a guiding force in her life, and she was an active member of her church community, finding strength and joy in the friendships she cultivated there. Family meant everything to Hazel; she treasured her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, always making time for her loved ones. Her home was a warm and welcoming space, filled with laughter, stories, and love.

In her professional life, Hazel took pride in her work in security at The Boeing Company, where she made significant contributions before retiring. She was also a talented painter and an avid doll collector, hobbies that brought her great joy throughout her life.

Hazel's memory will be lovingly preserved by her daughter, Debbie Patterson; son, Robert Boucher; granddaughters, Tabitha Lane, Terah Hamilton, and Chelsea Boucher; brother, Robert Johnson; and nieces and nephews, including Kelly Hance, Tyke Blum, Paula Lundquist, and James Buckley. She is also survived by her great-grandsons, Victor Morales Jr., Tyler Morales, Austin Morales, Dylan Morales, and Kaden Hamilton, as well as her great-great-great-granddaughter, Thalia Morales. Hazel was preceded in death by her daughter, Tami Lane; grandson, Travis R. Boucher; and great-great-granddaughter, Kayla L. Hamilton.
