Renee Marie Hazard

On July 4, 2021, Renee Marie Hazard joined our loved ones in heaven. She died at Holy Family Hospital where she received wonderful care. Renee was born July 28, 1966, to George and Darlene Hazard. Renee’s ancestors were homesteaders. She was the 7th generation to live in eastern Washington (Fisher Whitman, Co 1871) and the 5th generation grew up on the Hazard homestead on Wild Rose Prairie Spokane, Co 1884. She was proud of her heritage and loved her family both close and extended. At 18 Renee moved to Spokane and started work as a secretary for Tom Smith P.S. which led to a 30 year career with Stamper Rubens, P.S. where she was loved and will be greatly missed. Renee was gentle, funny, kind, and compassionate and forever curious about everything. She loved to explore before aches and pains slowed her down, often taking pictures of anything that caught her eye. She was very passionate about our heritage and loved to research genealogy, often sharing what she learned. Renee was preceded in death by her brother Lyle and survived by her parents, her brothers Greg, Eric, and Bryan, and her nieces and nephews Jestine, Terrin, Bethany, Garrett, and Noah Hazard. Family and friends are welcome to join the family for a graveside service at the Wild Rose Cemetery, NW corner of Monroe Rd and Hazard Rd. Deer Park, on July 11, 2021 at 10:00 AM with light refreshments to follow at the Wild Rose Community Center. Feel free to reach out to Eric at [email protected] with any questions.

Long-time Deer Park resident, 1950 – 2006

The two most important things to Jannis were her relationship to Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and her family.  Jannis was born in Oakesdale, Washington on April 14, 1928, and passed away peacefully in Spokane on May 26, 2025. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert A and Edna (Hall) Crow, her husband M Dean Snook, and her two siblings Robert (Mac) Crow and Jerrene Holling.  Jannis learned hard work and gratitude for family values as she helped cook and clean for the large farm crews connected to dry land wheat farming of the 1930s-1940s.  She attended WSU (known as WSC at the time) and completed her BS in Home Economics plus her BA in Education in 1950-51.
