She knew everyone and many of the staff members commented about how nice she was, always laughing, and having a wonderful demeanor.
She was preceded in death by her husband James Hazard, and is survived by her son Joe Taranto, daughter in law Cheryl, grandson Tony, granddaughter Kelli, and her last remaining sister, Louise Bloom of Seward, PA, and many nieces and nephews.
She was laid to rest in the Garden of Psalms.
