Hazel was predeceased by her husband, retired Westport Police Lt. John J. Saviano Jr., her sons, John J. Saviano, III and Lawrence Saviano, and her daughter-in-law, Marlene Saviano. She was also predeceased by her siblings, Edna Call, Vera Lewis and George Lewis, Jr.

In addition, she leaves three grandchildren, Robert L. Richards Jr. (Dawn), Melissa Bailey (Ethan) and Michelle Saviano, along with her great-grandchildren, Dylan and Violet Bailey, her nephew, Charles Call, along with several other nieces and nephews.
