Christi, where she began to attend the new Del Mar College in the evenings.
It is there that she met John J. Turner with whom she fell in love. They
transferred to the University of Texas and married on December 22, 1938.
Their impulsiveness led to their having to return to their respective boarding
houses that evening, and later having sufficient funds for only one of
them to continue with their education. It was decided that John would be
the one to continue in Chemical Engineering. With Hazelann helping to provide
financial support, John graduated in 1942.
As an Officer in the Navy, John and Hazelann moved to Dahlgren N.P.G.,
Virginia. Their first daughter Donna Louise was born and a few years later
their second daughter, June was born. After moving to California, Hazelann
and John enjoyed traveling, tending to over 200 avocado trees and the wine
country. In 1989, they returned to Texas for the second and final time
where they lived in Kerrville, having moved there from Ojal, California.
Hazelann was dedicated to teaching, from Girl Scout leader to Sunday
school. She taught at the Margaret Hope Nursery School in Ventura, California
for many years. While in LaPorte, Texas, she taught pre-Kindergarten at
Beacon Private School.
Hazelann was preceded in death by her husband of sixty-one years, John
J. Turner, her brother David Hix from Corpus Christi and her son-in-law
Ronald Dale McLemore of Baytown.
