Hazel I Collett
  Without Hazel's death certificate (not available until 2026 or 2027), it is difficult to know who her parents were, since this information is not on her marriage license.  However, the Arnold Hill Cemetery Records notes that Hazel I Isner, who is buried with Irvin Clay Isner, is in fact, the daughter of Lee Collett and Lilly Bell Bright. https://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvahca/cems/other/isner_burials.htm

Where the last name of Gum came from when she married is unknown.  I could find no marriage record for a Hazel Collett marrying a Gum. The other odd thing about Hazel's burial record is the date of birth of 1905.  Lee and Lilly did not marry until 1907.  Did they have Hazel out of wedlock?  Or was Hazel actually born in 1905 and her father is someone with the last name of Gum?  Lee Collett then adopted Hazel when he marries Lilly Bell Bright?

I looked for a birth record for Hazel between 1904 - 1908 under the last names of Bright, Gum, or Collett with no luck

Obituary for Dr. Patricia "Tricia" Lynn Hart
https://www.carmichaelfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/Patricia-Tricia-Lynn-Hart?obId=12577493
Accessed May 12, 2022
Dr. Patricia (Tricia) Lynn Hart, 62, of Powder Springs, Georgia died on April 1, 2020 at Wellstar Tranquility at Kennesaw Mountain after a courageous five-year battle with breast cancer.

Tricia was born on April 8, 1957 at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital to the late Richard E. Daetwyler and Edith Daetwyler of Mineral Bluff, Georgia.

After graduating from Wheeler High School, Tricia attended Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing where she received a nursing diploma in 1978.
She later attended Kennesaw State University where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1996. She continued her nursing education at Georgia State University where she obtained her Master of Science in Nursing in 2001 and Doctor of Philosophy in nursing in 2006.

Tricia began her career as a critical care nurse at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in 1978. During her 28-year tenure she served in various clinical and leadership roles. She then followed her passion for nursing education and research and joined the faculty at the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University. She taught in the undergraduate and graduate nursing programs in addition to conducting nursing research and mentoring graduate students.

Throughout her nursing career Tricia received numerous awards and recognitions including March of Dimes Nurse of the Year. She has presented nationally and internationally, published numerous evidence-based practice articles and conducted research to promote the advancement of nursing.

Her gift was serving others, and this was exemplified through mentoring and sharing the wisdom and experience that she gained through her nursing career and passion for nursing research. Her legacy will impact generations to come.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 33 years, Derek Carlton Hart of Powder Springs, Georgia; daughter and son-in-law, Amy Leigh and Scott Wuellner of Powder Springs, Georgia; mother, Edith Daetwyler of Mineral Bluff, Georgia; sister, Sonya Lamanac (Ronnie) of McCaysville, Georgia; brother, Mike Daetwyler (Nancy King) of Bradenton, Florida; mother-in-law, Scenus Hart of Smyrna, Georgia; brother-in-law, Kevin Hart of Smyrna, Georgia; nephews, Shane Daetwyler (Kelli) of Acworth, Georgia, Chris Daetwyler (Christy) of Powder Springs, Georgia, and Andrew Lamanac of McCaysville, Georgia; and great nieces and nephews Cayden, Caleb, Madison and Mason, and many other relatives and friends.

The family will hold a private ceremony in light of coronavirus (Covid-19). A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to the Dr. Patricia Lynn Hart Nursing Education Scholarship through the Wellstar Foundation at wellstar.org/foundation or mailed to 805 Sandy Plains Road, Marietta, GA 30066.

Obituary for Mrs. Eloise Evelyn Burge
https://www.moodydaniel.com/obituary/eloise-burge
Accessed May 13, 2022
Mrs. Eloise Evelyn Burge, age 81, of Barnesville, passed away February 8, 2021, at Brightmoor Hospice in Griffin.

She was born to the late Otto Collett and Naomi Phares Collett in Elkins, West Virginia on August 3, 1939. Eloise was a member of Rock Springs Church in Milner and Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church in Barnesville.

As the wife of a Methodist minister, Eloise served the church in many roles over the years including pianist, secretary, choir member, and soloist.
Lovingly known as “Mimi” by her grandchildren, Eloise loved spending time with her family and was passionate about reading, studying, and living God’s Word. Eloise will be remembered for her welcoming warmth; she never met a stranger. Her door was always open with a seat at her table and a large glass of sweet tea. Eloise loved all flowers, whether it was a picture, fresh cut, or growing in her yard. She had a smile that would light up a room and will be missed by all who loved her. Though she has now taken her place in the heavenly choir, her family will carry forward her legacy of faith and love in their hearts until they meet again.

In addition to her parents, Eloise was preceded in death by her sister, Helen Collett, brother, David Collett and her brother-in-law, Richard Daetwyler.

She is survived by her husband Rev. Lawrence Burge of 59 years of marriage, four (4) sons and their wives, Ed Burge, Barnesville, GA, Greg & Gay Ann Burge, Carrollton, GA, Steve & Debbie Burge, Griffin, GA, and Joe & Tammy Burge, Dawsonville, GA; sisters and a brother-in-law: Edie Daetwyler, Blue Ridge, GA, Debbie & Ronald Carder, Chesapeake, VA; brothers and sisters-in-law: Neal & Darlene Collett, Elkins WVA, Frank & Carol Collett, Elkins, WVA, Gloria Ware Collett, WVA; 18 plus grandchildren, a multitude of great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
