Hazel Pearl Scott was born on March 25, 1924 in Awendaw, Charleston County, South Carolina. She was the only child of the late Rosa Davis Green and James Scott. Hazel was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System. She graduated from Dunbar High School (PS 102) and remained an active member of the Dunbar Alumni Association until her illness. She continued her education and achieved two Bachelor of Science Degrees from Morgan State & Coppin State Colleges; and a Masters Degree in Urban Studies from Morgan State University. Additional continuing education credits were earned from South Carolina State University, New York University and Towson State University. Hazel accepted Jesus Christ at an early age and was a member of Water's A.M.E. Church for over sixty years joining under the late Reverend Harvey E. Walden. She later joined her home church, Wesley A.M.E., and was a member of Class # 3 under the leadership of the late Brother Harold Padgett which is currently led by Brother Jerome Padgett. Hazel dedicated her life to Christian service. She served as a Steward, Class Leader, President of the Carolinian Club, Education Director and member of the Minnie Walden Missionary Society of Water's. She served eight years as the President of the Baltimore Conference Lay Organization and as Treasurer, Public Relations Director and Vice President of the Second Episcopal District Lay Organization. Hazel was employed as a teacher in the South Carolina School System, Clemson College as a Home Demonstrator and 4-H agent. She moved and began her long teaching career with the City of Baltimore's Department of Education. As a teacher and leader in her community she achieved many awards and recognitions for her faithfulness, dedication and resourcefulness with her students, parents and co-workers. She was an exquisite seamstress having created wardrobes and draperies for family, friends and herself. Hazel's God whispered in her ear, "It is time to come to me my dear." After a long bout with illness the scripture filled her heart: "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course; I have kept the faith." II Timothy 4:5-7 Those who remain to celebrate her Christian love and teaching are: her godchildren, Brenda Corine Phillips (Melvin) of Delaware, Pearl Mae Price of Connecticut and Rodney Ferdinand Williams of New York; two sisters, Deana Ferber of California and Lois Howell of Maryland; three brothers, Elijah Scott (Catherine) of North Carolina, Theron Scott and Paul Scott (Mamie) both of Maryland; three aunts, Oneada Manigault and Geneva Manigault (Edgar) both of Maryland and Jannie Jacobs of New Jersey; four uncles, Sam Green, Jr. and Wilton Green of South Carolina, Logan Green (Deloris) and Irvin Green (Daisy) of the Maryland; devoted cousins, Edgar Green, Sr. (Coretta), Edna Wilson and Zakia Mahasa both of Maryland.
