Obituary for Hazel M. Jasiewicz (Troxell)
Hazel M. (Troxell) Jasiewicz, 87, of Boylston and formerly of Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 in the comfort of her home.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 65 years, Edward C. “Butch” Jasiewicz, in March of 2021. Hazel leaves her children, Robin Lafferty and her husband Kenneth, Sr., of Robbinsville, NJ, and Edward C. Jasiewicz, Jr., of Yardley, PA; her grandchildren, Heather Decker (and husband Andrew Decker), Ken Lafferty, Jr., and Lianna Jasiewicz; as well as many nieces and nephews. Along with her husband, Hazel was also predeceased by her daughter-in-law, Susan Jasiewicz; and her siblings, Frank Troxell and Geraldine Carson; and their parents, Will and Edith (Edwards) Troxell.
Born, raised, and educated in Frackville, PA, Hazel was a graduate of Frackville High School and Kutztown University, where she received a Bachelor’s degree in Education. In the 1960’s, she and Butch moved from Pottstown, PA to New England. They settled in Boylston, where they remained for the next sixty or so years. Hazel became a teacher and worked at Boylston Elementary for over thirty years, retiring in 1996.
In her free time, she enjoyed reading, spending time with friends and family, and watching New England and college sports teams. Hazel was also a wonderful storyteller and could make anyone laugh. Hazel and Eddie’s house was the central gathering point for those near and far and everyone loved pulling up to the driveway, walking into the shed with a fire burning, lots of food on the tables and lots of great conversations. She will be missed dearly by those who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Boylston COA, Boylston Town Hall, 221 Main Street, Boylston, MA 01505.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with the Jasiewicz family between 10 and 11 AM on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at the BRITTON-SHREWSBURY FUNERAL HOME, 648 Main Street, Shrewsbury, followed by a funeral service at 11 AM, in the funeral home.
