Hazel was born July 28, 1913 in Fairview, Wyoming to William Riley Hoopes and Mary Luella Harmon. She married Willard Rex Brown on July 8, 1931 in the Logan Temple. Two sons were born to this union.

She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served faithfully in her many callings throughout her life. After her own family was raised, she cared for many infant children by fostering them in her home. She loved her home and raising beautiful flowers inside and out.
