She met her husband Leslie Venables while a student at the University of Minnesota, where she graduated with a BA in Nursing in 1942. Hazel and Les married on February 19, 1943 in Minneapolis.
1947, Hazel and Les gave birth to a disabled child, the first of four daughters. That challenge prompted a move to Washington in their quest to find adequate treatment, education, and community acceptance for disabled children and adults. They dedicated their time and energy to making a difference in the lives of countless disabled children and their families throughout Washington. Hazel advocated in the early 1960's for education programs for the disabled in neighborhood public schools in Snohomish County. She was instrumental in starting a number of programs for disabled and adults in the county, including the Little Green, White and Red Schoolhouses, Sherwood Learning Center, and Quilceda Community Services.

Together, they built by hand their home in Stanwood and a family cabin on Guemes Island. Hazel was an avid gardener, bird watcher, and seamstress and remained a capable, active, and fiercely independent person up until the time of her death. There was never any challenge too big or too difficult for her to take on. She was a woman of diverse talents and activities and did not shy away from life's difficulties.

Hazel has 6 grandchildren, Hans Erik and Nels Olin Harper (Charli), Lars Blacken (Jun) and Kylie Evenhus (Grant), Garrison and Gillian Coy, and 4 great-grandchildren, Maya and Cameron Blacken, Addilyn and Benjamin Evenhus and many nieces and nephews.
