HURON — Hazel M. Murphy, 103, of Huron, passed away Friday, May 11, 2018, at Violet Tschetter Memorial Home.
Cremation has taken place and private family service will be held later this summer.
Hazel Mavis Murphy was born October 29, 1914, in Carthage to George and Vera (Baker) Murphy. She attended school and graduated from Huron High School. She also attended business college.
