Ilona M. “Peg” Hazen of Holland, PA, and formerly of Southampton, PA, passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2016, at Twining Village Health Care in Holland.  Her loving husband and family were by her side.  She was 85 years old.

Born in Ellwood City, PA she was the daughter of the late R. Wayne and Ethel Mae Kauffman Baird.

They moved to Harrisburg, PA, where they started their family, and finally settled in Southampton. 

Peg was a devoted educator and elementary school teacher, spending many years with The Centennial School District.  She was also a devoted and active member of The North and Southampton Reformed Church. The Eastern Star also occupied Peg's spare time.
