Hazel Remedios Krauss

Hazel entered into eternal peace on January 14, 2014. She was born in Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines, and moved to the United States in 1944. There she met and married Joseph Edward Krauss on September 19, 1947. They settled in the Sunset District of San Francisco, where they raised their sixteen children. Hazel was a woman of tremendous faith. She attended mass daily at St. Anne of the Sunset in San Francisco until she and Joe moved to Petaluma in 1993. In Petaluma, Hazel quickly became a part of the wonderful community at St. James Catholic Church. Hazel was a woman of many talents; including knitting and rosary bead making. She put her God given gifts to use by knitting hats for premature babies and making thousands of rosary beads sent to soldiers overseas and to missionaries who distributed them to people in underdeveloped countries around the world.
