Hazel A. Jordan, age 96, of Montville, passed peacefully into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ early in the morning of Saturday, November 5, 2016.
Born in Brooklyn, Hazel lived in Jersey City before moving to Millers Lane in Montville where she spent the majority of her adult life. Most recently she had been a resident of Dover receiving the loving care of the nurses and caretakers of Regency Grande Nursing Center.
Hazel’s most identifying quality was her love for God and her walk through this life with Him. Her Christian faith defined the essence of who she was and it shaped the way she conducted every aspect of her life.
As a secretary with telecommunications giant AT&T for many years, there was no one in her office that didn’t know that Hazel was a Christian. She would testify to His goodness anytime she felt called to do so and she led a bible study at work which was attended by fellow employees.
Hazel met Theodore Jordan, the man she would go on to marry in 1942, and was blessed for the next 68 years in a marriage that she described as “excellent.” Together, she and Ted co-pastored the Mount Zion Chapel on Dayton Street in Elizabeth for 60 years. They were a great team and were also supportive of churches in White Plains, NY and as far away as Jamaica. Hazel also conducted Christian services in her own home and when people needed a prayer regarding some challenge or obstacle in their life, many came to her because she had a special anointing from the Lord to intercede on their behalf. This quality was not something that Hazel boasted about, she just walked very close to God and He spoke clearly to her through His word the Bible regarding all aspect of her life and gave her wisdom to help others in their own lives. A gifted pianist, Hazel also took great joy ministering musically to the elderly residents of the Morris Hills Nursing Home for many years.
In retirement, Hazel and Theodore enjoyed traveling. They took vacations to Florida and even to the Holy Land in Israel.
Hazel’s passing saddens the hearts of those that knew and cherished this woman as a friend but they are grateful for her life and her testimony and look forward to the time when they will be reunited with her in heaven.
Hazel is survived by her much-loved son Theodore Daniel Jordan and her dearest long-time friends and caregivers of recent years Salvatore and Mary Ann Atanasio. She was predeceased by her beloved and adored husband Theodore who went home to be with the Lord in 2009.
