Hazel Mae DuFour, 103 years old, went home to be with the Lord on December 12, 2021.

She was born in Young Harris, Georgia to the late Leander Burrell and Texie Cheek Burrell on
October 7, 1918. Mom, as everyone knew her, grew up in Franklin but lived in many parts of
the country. When her husband retired, they returned to North Carolina till the end of her life.
She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an avid gardener and had many
beautiful gardens throughout her life wherever she lived. She had the most wonderful sense of
humor and the house was always filled with laughter and her soft, pleasant humming. She
loved canning, cooking (best pies ever) and hosting large family reunions every year.

Mom was preceded in death by her husband Thomas C. DuFour and her first child James
O'Neal DuFour. She is survived by her 5 daughters Bette Carman of Franklin, Nora Bakkebo of
Otto, Ann Chersky of Franklin, Christina Brown of Franklin, and Jean DuFour of San Pedro
California. She has 14 grandchildren 22 great grandchildren and 6 great great grand children
and numerous nieces and nephews.

We are rejoicing and comforted knowing she's with her Savior and the loved ones that went on
before her. She will be missed by all who have been blessed to have known her, but we know
we will see her again.

A memorial service will be held at Macon Funeral Home on Monday, December 20, 2021, at 2 pm.
