Honoring Hazel
On November 25, 2024, Hazel Burney was called to rest by our beloved Father.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Andrew Miller, her sister, Helen Miller, and her son, Clyde Miller.
At an early age, Hazel joined Branchville M.B. Church, where she served faithfully until dedicating her time as a full-time caregiver for her sister and niece, exemplifying the compassion and selflessness that defined her life.
Hazel was united in holy matrimony to the late Mose Burney. She built a legacy of love, care, and strength that shaped the lives of all who knew her. Hazel was always a source of support and warmth for her family, sharing her kindness and strength in every moment. Her famous home-cooked meals became the heart of family gatherings, bringing everyone together with love and laughter.
Though she will be deeply missed, we rejoice in knowing that Hazel is now at peace in the presence of the Lord.
