HAZEL NALIA ZWERNEMAN MOORE
ST. ANSGAR — Memorial services
for Hazel Nalia Zwerneman Moore,
96, who passed away Sunday (July
18, 2004) at the Good Samaritan
Center in St. Ansgar, will be
held at 1:30 p.m. today at First
Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar,
with Rev. Robert Porisch
officiating. Burial will be in
Newburg Cemetery, Carpenter.
Hazel was born Feb. 29, 1908, in
Carpenter, the eldest daughter
of Charles Philip Zwerneman and
Hilda Marie (Larson) Zwerneman.
Following the death of her
mother in 1914, Hazel made her
home with her grandmother, Maren
Larson, of Carpenter. Hazel
attributed much of her success
in life to the influence of
Grandma Larson, as she was a
stern but fair and loving
person. Hazel was confirmed in
the Christian faith at Deer
Creek Church in Carpenter on
March 6, 1923.
As one of a small high school
class, Hazel was called upon to
assist in teaching other
students at Carpenter
Consolidated Schools when one of
the instructors fell ill. She
graduated from Carpenter High
School in 1926. After her high
school graduation she attended
Hamilton Business College in
Mason City. Hazel was employed
at a law office in Northwood
when an opportunity arose that
took her to employment in
Washington, D.C.
She was employed as a civil
servant in the Federal and State
Labor Departments, House of
Representatives, Treasury and
Labor Departments, U. S.
Customs, and Selective Service
System. While she was working,
Hazel also found time to attend
law school at Columbia
University. During this time she
met Robert Lee Moore, a special
agent for the FBI, whom she
later married in Honolulu,
Hawaii, on Nov. 11, 1941. Their
union was blessed by the arrival
of their cherished daughter,
Margaret Lee Moore, on Sept. 29,
1942.
Hazel, Robert and Margaret
resided in Honolulu, Hawaii,
where Robert continued to work
for the government. He was
issued the first pass to Hickam
Field following the bombing of
Pearl Harbor.
Robert’s employment took them to
Nevada, where he was head of the
Nevada State Gaming Commission.
Hazel was employed as secretary
to the Nevada Gaming Board, and
later became personal secretary
to Governor Grant Sawyer of
Nevada.
The family eventually returned
to Hawaii, where Robert started
Robert L. Moore Associates, a
private investigation firm. He
was self-employed at this firm
until his death on June 22,
1965. Hazel was employed at the
State House in Honolulu until
Robert’s death, when she retuned
to Washington, D.C., where she
was employed until her
retirement. She moved several
times, eventually returning to
the Midwest. She always said
that now she had made the “full
circle,” having returned to her
roots in the Carpenter area.
She is survived by her daughter,
Margaret Lee Moore, of St.
Ansgar; half-sister, Mrs. Glen
(Mildred) Martin of Bloomington,
Minn.; a niece, Laurel Kimber of
St. Ansgar; nephew, Lee
Zwerneman of Choteau, Mont.; and
great nieces and nephews, Sarah
Calhoon, Katie Kimber, Amanda
Kimber, Lynette Dodson, Charles
Zwerneman, David Zwerneman,
Craig Zwerneman and Crist
Zwerneman as well as many
cousins and a host of friends.
Hazel was preceded in death by
her husband, Robert Lee Moore;
her parents, Charles and Hilda
Zwerneman; brothers, Carl and
Lloyd Zwerneman; a sister, Laura
Plummer; nephew, Lloyd P.
Zwerneman, Jr.; stepmother; two
sisters-in-law; a
brother-in-law; two step-sisters
and a step-brother.
