Watson (1972) and second husband Herbert Cloetta (1988), also sisters Mavis MaGee, Ruth Wise and Brother Ernest Dunnaway.

Grandchildren Jim Montgomery, Rebecca Perry, Shaun Braga and Sherilyn Braga. Eight Great-grandchildren and a large extended family. Hazel and husband Louie Watson met & married in Cincinnati, OH. In 1942. The Army, then his job, brought them to California: First to Culver City, then Oakland. When they raised their daughters, she worked at carious jobs until she & Louie bought the Triangle Coffee Shop in 1964; a busy truck stop where she remembered each customer by name.
Following Louie’s death, she married Herbert Cloetta and retired. She enjoyed bingo, casinos, and pinochle. Most of all she loved spending time with family and friends. Thank you to the girls for their devoted care – She was loved and will be missed by all.
