Hazel Marie Stevenson, 76

July 20, 2024

Hazel Marie Stevenson, 76, of New Providence passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, July 20, 2024, with her husband by her side. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Chester A. and Verna Mae Rankin Kneisley. Hazel was the beloved wife of Raymond Stevenson, and they shared 53 beautiful years of marriage together.

A proud 1965 graduate from Penn Manor. For most of her life Hazel worked in Millersville University’s Café De Ville. Hazel was a longtime and faithful member of Bethesda United Methodist Church, Holtwood. For many years Hazel enjoyed visiting Rehoboth beach with her family making memories that will last a lifetime for those she leaves behind. In her younger years you could find her on the dance floor but later on she took up the hobbies of crocheting, cooking, baking, jigsaw puzzles and playing games with her grandchildren where she would “always let them win”. Over the last several years Hazel found solace in taking drives with her husband and enjoying the simple scenery around her, just the two of them.

Surviving in addition to her husband, Raymond, are two sons, Dale husband of Darcy Stevenson, James husband of Ashlen Stevenson, six grandchildren, Afton Hernandez, Joshua Filson, Kyle Stevenson, Kory Stevenson, Mackenzie Stevenson, Kiera Stevenson, four great grandchildren as well as two sisters, Faye wife of Ron Shaffer, and Betty Spade, as well as many nieces and nephews.
