According to The Ledger, Hazel Haley died today at age 91. She had retired two years ago after teaching for 69 years, 67 of them at Lakeland High School.
Hazel was one of a kind. Her death is a great loss to Lakeland and to those who knew her, but she lived a long and fulfilling life doing what she loved: teaching young men and women - her "children" - to face the world prepared for whatever life brought them, to put the commas in the right places and to avoid run-on sentences.
Rest in peace, Hazel. We will always love you.
