In Loving Memory of Hazel Grace Bradshaw

Hazel Grace Bradshaw was born on September 11, 2022, to Stormey Hardester and Arin Bradshaw. Hazel Grace peacefully passed away in her mother's arms on November 12, 2023. Although her time with us was short, she brought boundless joy and love to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Hazel left behind her parents, Stormey and Arin; her brother, Dustin; grandparents, Jerri-Kaye and Jason and Christy and Eric; her uncles, Hunter and Gunner; grandma, Judy; and countless of great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, cousins and so many others that loved her dearly.

Hazel is preceded in death by her grandpa, Dustin Hardester; aunt, Victoria Moody; great grandpa, Jerry Harned; great great grandparents, Paul and Kaye Pinkerton; great x3 grandma, Jean Pierpaoli; and great x3 grandpa, Bobby Hardester.

Hazel Grace was a spirited and curious soul. Her infectious laughter, ocean blue eyes, and captivating smile could brighten even the darkest of days. She had a remarkable way of touching the hearts of everyone she encountered, leaving an indelible mark on those who were fortunate enough to witness her beautiful spirit.

During her 14 months with us, Hazel Grace brought immeasurable happiness to her family. She will forever be our little angel, our source of strength and inspiration. Hazel Grace's bubba, Dustin, formed an unbreakable bond with her. Hazel loved Dustin dearly and would light up when he entered the room. Her favorite pass time play with her brother, but she also enjoyed watching Mrs. Rachel, playing patty cake, bath-time and the outdoors.

Although her time on this earth was brief, Hazel Grace's impact was profound. She taught us the importance of cherishing every moment, finding joy in the simplest of things, and embracing the love that surrounds us. Her memory will forever be engraved in our hearts. Her journey with Mitochondrial Disease reached people nationwide. It is our mission to continue to raise awareness of this awful disease in Hazel's honor.

A memorial service to celebrate Hazel Grace's life will be held on Friday, November 17th, 2023, at 11:00 A.M. with the visitation one hour prior at Dial and Dudley Funeral Home: 4212 Highway 5 N, Bryant, Arkansas. Followed by a graveside service at Upchurch Cemetery.

Bubba is requesting everyone wear pink for his sister's service. Let's try to honor this request for Dustin.
