Biographical / Historical

Hazel M. Grady traveled the fields of Baptist service and leadership in and outside the state of Georgia. She served as a leader in the field of religious education, not only at the associational and conventional level, but also in individual churches. She was ordained to the ministry on October 13, 1974, at Oakhurst Baptist Church (GA), after serving in their religious education department for twenty years. She served as a chaplain at Georgia Baptist Hospital and at Egleston Hospital.

Outside of religious circles, she also was an active member of the American Business Women’s Association, functioning in several leadership roles, including events committees, maintaining historical records, and acting as president of her chapter, Perimeter. In 1974, her chapter declared her “Woman of the Year.” (Adapted from Hazel Grady’s 1974 resume.)
