Hazel was born on June 8, 1953, the daughter of J. N. Durham and Mary McCullough Durham. She was a nurturer at heart and worked as an LVN for many years. Hazel married Marvin Thomas Lamberson in 1979 in Edhube, Texas. She was often seen watching tv, because honestly, it was one of her favorite things to do. She enjoyed the Hallmark channel and dabbled in soap operas now and then, but she was obsessed with the Twilight Saga. Hazel was a romantic at heart. When she wasn't fixated on Edward and Bella's tumultuous relationship, she was living romantic adventures vicariously by reading Danielle Steel novels. She enjoyed playing games on Facebook and catching up with friends. Hazel, above all else, loved her family and adored her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Hazel is preceded in death by her parents, and sister, Rita Durnil.

She is survived by her husband of 41 years, Marvin Lamberson of Bonham, Texas; son, Stephen Oliver and wife Samantha of Durant, Oklahoma; daughters, Stacy Smith and husband James of Arkansas and Lisa Robinson of Wylie, Texas; sisters, Mary Cook and husband Ronald of Plano, Texas and Patricia Ann; grandchildren, Kenzie Herndon, Jimbo Smith, Emma Smith, Brittany Oliver, Christina Stinson, Stephen Oliver Jr., Stacy Oliver, James Oliver, Tremaine Howard, Tearony Howard, T'myra Steward, and Tristan Steward; great grandchildren, Kemyra Woodridge, Amy Oliver, and Bella Owens; extended family and a host of friends.
