Mrs. Broussard retired from the Louisiana Health Department in Vermillion Parish at the Erath Health Unit branch after many years of dedicated service. She was the first clerk to be employed at the Erath branch when it was built in 1957.
Hazel enjoyed gardening, traveling throughout the United States, dancing with her Cajun Culture friends, and having visitors at her home. She was an excellent cook who shared her delicious meals and recipes. Most of all, Hazel was a loving wife, mother, and Maw Maw who cherished her beloved family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
