Hazel Quinn, 94, of Etowah, TN passed away Monday, November 21, 2022.

Hazel was born in Polk County, Tennessee but lived most of her life in Etowah, where she worked in the First Baptist Church of Etowah nursery for many years and enjoyed all the little ones under her care. She was a member of the food committee for several years, helping cook and serve for church dinners, she also baked many, many yeast rolls through the years to serve with the dinners. Hazel also enjoyed her Sunday school class in her later years after leaving the nursery.

She loved her family endlessly and spending time with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One thing that everyone said about Hazel was, "If you left her house hungry, it was your own fault." Friday evening family supper was always a highlight for the family.

Hazel's hobbies were sewing, quilting, crocheting, cooking, reupholstering furniture, watching her birds, working in her flower gardens, growing a vegetable garden, and canning. She also enjoyed camping, fishing, vacationing, Cades Cove, and Dollywood where she and Wayne spent a lot of time, usually with a grandchild or two, so much so that many of the park employees knew them by name.

Hazel was preceded in death by her parents, William Carl and Fannie Walden Bryan of Benton; husband, Wayne J. Quinn of 60 years; one sister, Helen Bryan Ross; six brothers, Henry Bryan, Roy Bryan, Elmer Bryan, Lloyd "Creepy" Bryan, Edward Bryan, and Richard Bryan.
