Obituary of Hennessey Hazel

Loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. It's with great sadness that the six children of Hazel Hennessey announce her passing at the age of 91, on August 31, 2021. A 1948 graduate of Mahtomedi High School, Hazel was fourth of eight children, and the last to survive. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clinton & Amanda Caulkins (Mullenax); siblings, Elvin, Velma, Vernon, Dorthy, Betty, Clinton Jr., Edward & former husband Richard Hennessey. She is survived by children, Richard, Barbra (Tom) Clark, Deborah (Bill) Ramsey, Michael (Xiomara), John (Claire), Glenn (Stephen Kogut); nine grandchildren; sixteen great grandchildren; & countless friends & relatives. Hazel married at seventeen & worked her entire life (much of it at Sperry Univac/Unisys), only to continue helping others upon retirement, never moving far from her childhood home in Willernie. She was a 60-year member of Lake Drive (later Silver Lake) United Methodist Church. Hazel gave selflessly, smiled tirelessly, and will be missed by all who knew her. A Celebration of Her Life will take place Saturday, October 16, 2021 at Sandberg Funeral Home, 2593 E. 7th Ave., North St. Paul 11:00 AM with Visitation starting at 10:00 AM. Private Interment to follow at Union Cemetery, St. Paul.
