Hazel Marie Riddle
March 7, 1930 - January 15, 2021
Hazel Marie Riddle, 90, of Springfield, VA, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, went home to her Lord on January 15, 2021. She was born in Alberta, Canada, where her dad was working on an oil rig. Her parents eventually returned to Covington, Kentucky where she grew up. Hazel loved country music, played the guitar, and wrote one song that was eventually recorded. In high school, she met and married her sweetheart James. Together they raised a family of six and moved to Alexandria, VA in 1962. Hazel was a loving mother, faithful Christian, and a devoted Bible class teacher who taught two and three year-olds for many years. Though slight in frame, she was an avid bowler and was proud of her league trophies. She was most proud of her family and delighted as each new generation arrived. Hazel is survived by her children Terry, Peggy, Alan, Jimmy, Rhonda, her daughters-in-law Elizabeth and Karen, and son-in-law Greg, eight grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by one son Gary and her husband James.
