Mazie was born in South Carolina on November 4, 1949. The family moved to Idaho Falls when Mazie was about six months old. She grew up on 11th Street, the second of seven children of Lionel and Mary Wold.

Mazie passed away at her home in Idaho Falls on December 13, 2024. 

Mazie was always the wild child and kept her family busy with her antics, climbing out her upstairs bedroom window and down the side of the house was one of her favorites.

In February 1968, Mazie married David Kjar. He was in the Navy and that life sent them all over the United States. In August 1969, in New London, Connecticut, Michael, a cute little one with strawberry blonde hair, was welcomed into the family. Mazie and Dave were later divorced.

Mazie earned a Bachelor's Degree in social work. She worked with Domestic Violence in Idaho Falls. In 2003, she moved to Fallon, Nevada, where she was one of the best social workers D.C.F.S. ever had. She loved helping children and it showed. 

While in Fallon, Mazie met Jim Hooker, and love grew. When Mazie retired, the family returned to Idaho Falls where Mazie lived the rest of her life out in the country, enjoying the beautiful view from her living room window. 

Waiting to greet her on the other side are her parents, Lionel and Mary, and her brother, John (Christine) Wold.

She will be greatly missed by her husband, James Hooker; her son, Michael Kjar; her grandson, Devin Kjar; sisters, Vicki (Mark) Melrose, Teresa (Daryl) Moon, Kathryn (Jay) Hayes, and Nancy Wold; and her brother, David (Roberta) Wold.

No services will be held at this time.
