Hazel Graden

Hazel died peacefully on Saturday, July 17th, surrounded by her immediate family. Born April 14th, 1922, Hazel is preceded by her husband of over 65 years, Leonard, her parents Olaf and Anna Soderlind, and her three sisters Hildur, Myrtle, and Lilly.

Hazel was a lifelong resident of Two Harbors who was active in her community and church (Emmanuel Lutheran). She was a certified teacher, spent twenty years working at Falk's Drug Store, and several years as a teacher's aide at the John A. Johnson Elementary School.

She was a member of the VFW, VASA, and Girl Scouts. She was also the librarian of her church, and volunteered endless hours to many organizations, charities, and events, such as the Two Harbors Public Library, and DAC.

Hazel was an avid reader, writer, and beautiful singer as well as enrolling in courses through the College of St. Scholastica well into the 1990's.

She is also well remembered for her beautiful vintage fashion shows and displays she proudly assembled from her own personal collection for various groups.

Hazel is lovingly remembered by her immediate family: daughter Emily (Jerry) Teeters, Two Harbors, son David, Miami, FL, grandson J.D. (Denise Feig) Teeters, Two Harbors, granddaughter Anne (Ian) Bineham, London, England, and four great-granddaughters (Autumn, Tamara, Anna Grace, and Hope-Eleanor), along with countless family and friends.

Remembrance Service is being held at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Two Harbors on Tuesday, July 20th at 1 pm.
