On March 1, 2012, Hazel Blood, age 92, went home, and in an instant she was gone, stepping from this life through the veil, into the next. She remained independent, physically fit, and of keen mind and intellect until the moment she left us. Hazel was born April 16, 1920, in View, Idaho, to Ralph LeRoy and Margaret Glennie Jensen. She was raised in Fairview, Wyoming. She married Louis Loynd Blood on August 29, 1940, in the Salt Lake Temple, and they lived the remainder of their years in Kaysville, Utah where they raised their five children. She came to know Jesus Christ through a love for prayer, the scriptures, temple attendance, and service to her fellowmen. Through family history work she was well acquainted with her ancestry. Hazel was known for her good cooking, especially her hot rolls. She also loved and was known for her iris, peony, lilac, and vegetable gardens. She enjoyed quilting and knitting service projects, and reading. Above all, she was an anchor and nurturer to her family. She could recite the birthdays of all 100 plus of her posterity, and we will miss her yearly, homemade, personalized birthday cards. Hazel is survived by her children, Raymond (Delores), Lynn (Utahna), Jacklyn (Pete) Petersen, Beverly (Steve) Swanson, and daughter-in-law Donna Blood, 26 grandchildren, 54 great-grandchildren, and five great-great- grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, son Donald, parents, three brothers and one sister.
