Hazel Grundy, daughter of Herschel and Allie Fox, was born on a farm, near
Powell Missouri, December 22, 1915. She had just celebrated her 100th birthday.
At 8 years of age the family moved to La Junta, Colorado where she attended
school and graduated from La Junta High School. She worked at Wiswell Creamery
where she met James Grundy. They were married January 11, 1936 and celebrated
62 ½ years together. Jim went to work for Santa Fe Railway, where he sustained
a serious injury. They lived in a box car on the extra gang while Jim was the
payroll clerk. When he went to work in the Santa Fe office, they moved to
Pueblo, Colorado. They returned to La Junta in 1945 where they spent the next
24 years raising their children. Following a change in employment, they moved
to Denver, Colorado. Hazel spent the last 7 ½ years living in Dumas.

Hazel was a devoted, loving, and supportive wife and mother. She was active in
her children's school days serving as room mother, Girl Scout co-leader, and
children's Bible School teacher. She was an excellent cook known especially for
her pies. She also sewed for her children and loved working in her flower beds.
She was an active member in the church of Christ all of her life, having been
baptized in March 1927. She faithfully attended worship services at Sunray
