She was a charter member of Calvary Baptist church in Salem where she faithfully served for over 70 years. She sang in the church choir until she was 93 years young and had read completely through her Bible several times. She loved the Lord and was a Godly example to her family and all who knew her. Hazel had a sharp mind throughout her life and loved to laugh. She was a fun loving little lady with a huge heart that loved and gave unconditionally. She enjoyed serving others and helped when she saw a need. More than anything else, she prayed that her family and friends would know and love the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior like she did. She was a priceless treasure who forever changed all our lives for the better. Our Mama, Grandma, and Gigi (great-grandmother) will live forever in our hearts. She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Ann Kirby (Ray), son Dennis White (Joan), and daughter-in-law Debbie White (son Glenn), 8 grandchildren (Stacie, Kevin, Jennifer, Holly, Allison, Ellen, Amanda, and Cathryn), 19 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to express our sincerest appreciation to the staff and all those who lovingly cared for our mother and grandmother during the time she made her home at Snyder Nursing Home and J. C. Thomas Center. A special thank you goes to Pastor Roger Counts, Linda, Ruby, Loretta, Pastor Gary, and her many other friends and church friends who dedicated their time to visit our mother often. She loved you so much that you became her family, too. Burial will follow at Sherwood Memorial Park in Salem.7 She was born on June 13, 1919 at Christiansburg, Montgomery Co., Virginia.8,2,3 As of April 8, 1939,her married name was White.2 She married Charlie Carr White on April 8, 1939 at Salem, Roanoke Co., Virginia.2,9,7,10 Hazel Estelle Combs died on February 26, 2020 at Salem, Roanoke Co., Virginia, at age 100.3,7
