Hazel Alene Black

06/01/1930 - 08/13/2025

Hazel Alene Black, 95, of Waverly, Alabama, entered the presence of her Heavenly Father on August 13, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on June 1, 1930, in Dothan, Alabama, Alene was the daughter of Clephus and Erma Martin. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 69 years, Andrew Lamar Black Sr., and her son, Henry Joel Black.

Alene is lovingly remembered by her sons: Andrew Lamar Jr. of Waverly, Gary (Jennie) of Auburn, Jeff (Amy) of Hartselle, and Scott (Rachael) of Auburn. She is also survived by her sister, Linda Porter of Birmingham, 11 cherished grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and a host of extended family and friends who will miss her deeply.

Raised in Opelika, Alene married the love of her life just one day before her 16th birthday. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, she spent her life in service to her family and others. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering faith touched everyone she met.

Alene was a longtime member of Farmville Baptist Church, attending faithfully until her health prevented her. Even then, she remained spiritually connected by watching church services from home each Sunday. She also dedicated over 20 years of service to the East Alabama Medical Center Auxiliary, reflecting her deep commitment to caring for others.

A graveside service celebrating Alene's life will be held at Loachapoka Cemetery on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.

Her legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to live on through all who knew and loved her.

Frederick-Dean Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
