Lisa L. Hazen

December 28, 1965 - November 27, 2020

HAZEN, Lisa L., age 54, formerly of Waynesville, passed away Friday, November 27, 2020 at the Laurels of West Carrolton. Lisa earned a Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Dayton and a Master’s Degree of Divinity from the Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, Indiana. She interned at the Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren in Kettering. Following her internship, she served as pastor at the Beavercreek Church of the Brethren from 1999 - 2004. From 2004 - 2012, she served as pastor of the First Church of the Brethren in Wichita, Kansas. In addition, she served on the board of directors at the Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond for several years. A pastor at heart, Lisa took on a pastoral inclination with people wherever she lived. Adventurous, quiet, and introspective, Lisa greatly enjoyed high adventure sports in her free time. Her favorite activities included white water rafting, camping, kayaking, and rock climbing. When she was younger, visits to the family farm in southern Ohio for camping trips were some of her favorite times. Through the years, she made many memories traveling to West Virginia to visit family and enjoy adventure sports - mostly white water rafting expeditions. Among the many things, she will be remembered for how much she cared for her nephews while they were growing up, making special time with each one individually for games and other activities. She was preceded in death by her mother Patricia Hazen. She is survived by her father Richard Hazen; her brother Rick (Rita) Hazen; three nephews Matthew Hazen (Natasha Hollingsworth), Bradley (Kristen) Hazen, and Travis (Jacqueline) Hazen; three great nephews Micah, Vincent, and Jamison; and great niece Sygri Lyn. The family will receive friends 11 AM - 12 PM Wednesday, December 2 at Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville. A graveside service and burial will be held 12:30 PM Wednesday at Miami Cemetery in Corwin. Pastor Tim Heishman will be officiating.
