ROBERT
"WAYNE" HAZELWOOD
January 23, 1941 - February 16, 2024Raymond "Wayne" Hazelwood
was a loving husband, father, brother, and a friend to everyone he met.
He was born January 23, 1941 in Carrollton, Texas to Jesse Hazelwood and
Mae (Hearn) Hazelwood. He has one sister, Kaye Hazelwood Gooch, of
Baltimore, Maryland.
Wayne graduated from Carrollton High School in 1959 and attended Paris
Junior College in Paris, Texas, on a baseball scholarship. He enjoyed
coaching boys baseball, girls softball, boys basketball and football. He
worked for the United States Postal Service until his retirement in
1999.
Wayne married Coleen (Attebery) Clark on October 3, 1990 in Grapevine
Texas. He and Coleen spent many wonderful years playing golf, traveling,
and celebrating life with family and friends. Wayne and Coleen enjoyed
playing in couples golf tournaments all over the country and helped
establish the Couples Golf Association at Indian Springs Country Club.
Wayne’s favorite trip was to England, Scotland, and Ireland with family
and friends, where he was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing
the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland along with other famous golf
courses.
Wayne established many special friendships on the golf course. He was an
avid golfer, and was notorious for giving (and taking!) 4-foot gimme
putts and for diligently fishing golf balls from various ponds he
encountered on the course, MUCH to the frustration of his foursome.
Wayne was an original member of "The Rats" golf group at Indian Springs.
He enjoyed the competition, but he most enjoyed time spent with friends
afterwards at the 19th Hole.
Wayne accepted Christ as his Savior as a young boy. He rededicated his
life in recent years and enjoyed attending South Broken Arrow Baptist
Church.
Wayne is joyously reunited with his family who preceded him in death:
his beloved wife, Coleen Hazelwood; his daughter, Tracey Hazelwood; his
step- son, Mason Clark; his mother, Mae Hazelwood; and his father Jesse
Hazelwood.
Wayne is survived by his son, Zeke and wife Jennifer Hazelwood, Keller,
TX; Bonus Daughters, Kim and husband Randy Rutherford, Broken Arrow, OK;
Lanette and husband Greg Stice, Parsons, KS; Denise and husband Tim
Davis, Lebanon, TN; Grandchildren Ethan, Kady, Jeff and Amanda, Justin
and Kasey, Jared and Jessica, Jordan and Jamie, Jentry and Ryan, Jailyn,
Anna and Phillip, Caley and Ryan, Jace and Emma; Thirteen
Great-grandchildren; his sister Kaye Gooch, Baltimore, MD; along with
countless friends, who will miss him dearly, but know that his best life
has just begun!
As Wayne would say…"That’s good, pick it up"!! |
