Hazel Rebecca Woodfield, 94, of Mt. Airy Md., went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 21, 2016. She was born on October 30, 1921 in Claggettsville  Md.

Ms. Woodfield was the wife of the late Paul Boyer Woodfield  and daughter of the late John Gaver and Rena Long Brown. She was born, lived and died on Brown Church Road which was named after her paternal ancestors.  She passed on peacefully in her home while being cared for by her family.

"Ms Hazel" as her Upper Seneca Baptist Church family affectionally called her, will miss her joyful smile. Among her many gifts, she loved serving others. No one left her home hungry. Ms. Woodfield loved the Lord, her family and her friends. She enjoyed setting a full table spread. During her long life, Ms Woodfield cared for elderly patients in her home. She attended Sunday Services, Wednesday night Bible study, VBS and helped on the care/social committee. The Bible verse: "and her children shall rise up and call her blessed" is true about Mom. During  WWII, Ms. Woodfield  served her  country by assembling  gyroscopes at a military  facility in Bethesda  Md.. Ms. Woodfield, her mother and the, first three little girls, traveled daily to sell their bake goods and farm fresh wares at the" Silver Spring Market".

Ms. Woodfield is survived by four of her five daughters., Barbara Reed Clayton, Ruth V. Day, Sherry Kunkel, and husband Jim and  Sandy Rogers and husband Dick, and two grandchildren that she and her husband raised, Steve Hash and Crystal Hash. "Grandma Hazel" is beloved my 15 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren, 12 great great- grandchildren, and so many who considered her their grandmother also. Along with her family and friends, she will be missed by her sister in-  law Nellie Brown, cousin Ruby Bowers, Mary Hash, Rhoda Hash, and Naomi Mattheiss. Among those waiting in heaven to greet her, are her husband, parents, daughter Gloria Woodfield  Hash, brother Leroy Brown, son in laws; John Clayton, Quentin Day, and  Gilbert Hash. The family expresses our gratitude to grandson Joe Day for his faithful care which helped Mom to stay in her home.  Thanks are also expressed to Hospice for their  help. 

The family will receive friends from 2- 4 and 6-8 p. m. on Friday July 29, 2016, at the Molesworth-Williams P.A. Funeral Home 26401 Ridge Road, Damascus Md. 20872. The Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday July 30, 2016 at the Upper Seneca Baptist Church 23401 Davis Mill Road, Germantown, Md. 20876.  The interment will follow in the church cemetery.
