Hazel Beasley

January 30, 2018

We honor and celebrate the life of Hazel Beasley, 85, departed to a heavenly place of peace on  January 29, 2018.

Hazel was fortunate to have her husband, Mack Beasley, son Bobby (Vicki) Harrison, and daughter, Sherry (Ernie) Tetter by her side as she held God's hand for her final walk home.
Born September 3, 1932, Hazel was the first child born to H.W. Wise and Agnes Polk in her home town of Jay, Florida.

Residing here all her life, she was a follower of God, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-great- grandmother. She loved gardening, cooking, and 'piddling', as she called it.  I don’t know a soul who didn’t want, and often request, her banana pudding when special events came around! Hazel had a way about her, through her eyes and smile, that just brightened anyone’s day. She loved her church congregation, and was devout, even when it became impossible for her to be a part of her church in person. She spent many a day just worshipping, at home, with her bible, and gospel music playing.

Hazel also loved animals and had a few in her lifetime. Two very special “babies” were with her in the latter years of her life until her parting. They are J.J and Penny, two very loved dachschunds and they gave her much love and comfort.

Hazel Beasley has many close survivors who will miss her tremendously. Other than her spouse and two children she has six grandchildren, Angi (Rick) Baker, Cherian Tetter, Victoria (Travis) Watson, Jeffrey (Krista) Harrison, Morgan Lewis, and Abbigail Harrison. She also has five great-grandchildren, Raychell Baker, Aela Watson, Emery Stover, Xavier Watson, and Koben Stover. Hazel is also survived by her sister, Myrl (JC) Berry and Betty (Peter Joe) Kelley and
her many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Earl, and her late husband Bernard Harrison.She was also predeceased by her grandmother, Camma Polk, for which she adored fervently until  her passing.
Honoring her life and memory, the visitation will be January, 31, 2018, at Jay Chapel, 3853 Highway 4, Jay, Florida from 6:00 til 9:00 p.m. We will hold services at Jay Cornerstone Church on February 1, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., with graveside service to follow at Cora Baptist Church.

Officiating pastor will be Frederick Barrow. Pallbearers will be Dan Beasley, Jeff Harrison, Ben Bostic, Hank Berry, Jim Reynalds, Travis Watson, Clayton Lambeth, and Rick Baker. Honorary pallbearers are Ernie Tetter and Kyle Stover.

In parting, and by her own words..Simply said “There are things we hate so bad. But, we don’t stop to think what is so peaceful. What a good family we have. I love them all.”
