Hazel Blackstock passed away peacefully on September 30, 2020. She was born on December 21, 1932, to the late Ford and Nannie Katherine Vice of Flemingsburg, Kentucky. She met, became engaged to, and married the late Robert S. Blackstock within six months of meeting him in 1955. They were married for 63 years and had one daughter, Lisa. Before moving to Kentucky, they resided in Danville, Virginia, and Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
A resident of Owensboro, Kentucky since the early 1970's Mrs. Blackstock worked several years as the Executive Assistant to Leon Gregorian, the then conductor of the Owensboro Symphony Orchestra. Following that, she worked for more than 20 years until her retirement at Horn's Insurance Agency.

She was a member of the Woman's Club of Owensboro and the Evansville (Indiana) chapter of the Embroiders Guild of America. Mrs. Blackstock volunteered her time in the Owensboro community with Cornerstone Counseling, the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden, and the Help Office.
She was a decades-long active member of First Baptist Church of Owensboro, Kentucky, where she was a member of the Martha Grace Sunday School Class. She was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel in the 1980s, an honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to individuals noted for their public service and their work for the advancement of Kentucky.
