She was born June 17, 1924 in Redwater, Texas, daughter of the late Clyde L. and Ida Mae Robertson Dodd.

Hazel married John Kenneth Rehak on November 26, 1947 in Newgulf, Texas. Kenneth preceded her death in 1998. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her brothers Carlos and Glenn Dodd.

Hazel was raised in Redwater, Texas, outside of Texarkana, and graduated from Redwater High School. She attended Texas State College for Women, now Texas Woman’s University, and graduated with a degree in Home Economics. Hazel moved to Newgulf to begin her teaching career at Newgulf Elementary where she lovingly served the children of Newgulf for 26 years prior to retiring in 1988. Hazel was an avid gardener and was especially fond of growing African Violets. She enjoyed cooking for her family, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. Most importantly, Hazel was a strong believer in Jesus Christ and most recently attended Iago Federated Church in Boling, Texas.
