Meredythe Anne Hazlett

Meredythe Hazlett, age 85, of Burnsville, Minnesota, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on July 26, 2026. Meredythe was raised by Vivian and Arnie Berg and grew up in Minneapolis. She attended Washburn High School, where she was a cheerleader. She met the love of her life, Kirk, on a blind date. What began as one date grew into a beautiful marriage of more than 65 years, centered on family and love.

For years, Meredythe dedicated herself to raising her children at home. She and Kirk went on to build and operate Performance Sales for more than three decades as manufacturers’ representatives. As office manager, Meredythe was the backbone of the company’s daily operations and Kirk’s trusted partner.

Meredythe had a gift for making people feel welcome. Whether she was preparing a favorite family meal, baking something special, hosting holidays, or opening her home to friends and family, she made everyone feel like they belonged. Meredythe enjoyed sewing and gardening, while sharing Kirk’s love of the outdoors through hunting, fishing, camping, and sailing.

Her kindness and positive outlook touched everyone who knew her. She found her greatest happiness in being surrounded by her family, whose lives were enriched by her love, encouragement, and wisdom.

Meredythe is survived by her sister, Nancy Lynn (Dave); her children, Tom (Tara), Debbie Kaiser (Greg), Mark (Shannon), daughter-in-law, Deb; her grandchildren, Allie, Eddie, Mandie, Tristen, Garrett, Adam, Nick, Nate, Colton, Tanner, Chase, Ashlynn; her great-grandchildren, Beckett, Rylynn, Myla, Arthur, Kensley, Jett, Keagan; as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Kirk Hazlett, Sr.; her son, Kirk Hazlett, Jr.; her siblings, Yvonne Gustafson, Maxine Slipka, Donald Berg, Aileen Zeissler, Arne Berg, Richard Berg, Vivian Rose, Gerald Berg.
