Obituary of Hazel Lee Wallock

Hazel Lee Wallock (nee Dubrow), 100 years old, passed away peacefully on Monday , April 27, 2015 at the Teresian House, where she had been living for the past 5 years. Born and raised in the Bronx, NYC, she moved to Albany in the early 1940s after her marriage to the late Max Wallock who died in 1983, and with whom she had three children, Jeffrey, Barry and Jill. When Hazel’s younger sister Estelle died tragically at just 37, she also raised her sister’s young children, Ronnie, Betty and Barbara, as her own. Last June, Hazel was thrilled to celebrate her 100th birthday surrounded by family and close friends. In her younger years, Hazel loved gardening, playing cards, throwing dinner parties and attending ballet performances at SPAC. She continued to play bridge until she was 99 with devoted friends who visited her weekly at Teresian House.
