Coleen Janette Hazelwood Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Coleen Janette Attebery Hazelwood was a caring and loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. She was born on Saturday, March 2, 1940 in Parsons, Kansas to John Attebery and Gertrude Lumm Attebery. As their only daughter with two older brothers, she became the scrappy, sassy, salty, competitive personality we have all come to love! Coleen attended Fairview country school, where her mother was the teacher. She graduated from Parsons High School in 1957. As an adult, Coleen attended many college classes at night, while working and raising a family. One of her proudest accomplishments was graduating with a degree in Business Management from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas. Coleen married Raymond Wayne Hazelwood on October 3, 1990 in Grapevine Texas. She and Wayne spent many wonderful years playing golf, traveling, and celebrating life with family and friends. Coleen and Wayne enjoyed playing in couples golf tournaments all over the country and they were instrumental in establishing the Couples Golf Association at The Club at Indian Springs. They had recently taken a road trip from Florida to Maine, where they visited Niagra Falls, one of the many places on Coleen’s infamous bucket list. However, her favorite trip was with family and friends to London, Scotland, and Ireland. During this trip Coleen was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland along with other famous golf courses. Coleen gave her life to Christ at a Women’s Retreat in Grapevine Texas in 1991. She was an active member of South Broken Arrow Baptist Church, where she enjoyed serving on many committees, including Bylaws Committee, Finance Committee, and Properties Committee. Coleen established many special friendships on the golf course. This led to countless discussions about life, love, family, prayers, and solving the world’s problems – much of which continued after golf at the 19th Hole or sitting on a friend’s patio. As an avid student of Bridge, she loved playing and teaching others to enjoy the game. Coleen loved her work in the communications industry. Like many working mothers, she juggled raising a family and working hard to advance her career. She worked 23 years for GTE in Broken Arrow and Dallas as Service Office Manager, District Public Affairs Manager and AT&T Contract Manager. She retired from GTE in 2001 as Vice President of Operations. During her career, Coleen served on the Irving, Texas Chamber of Commerce, Flower Mound Youth and Family Services, Dallas United Way, Highland Village United Way Drive, and on the Board of the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce. During retirement, she was very active with the Women’s Golf Association at The Club at Indian Springs, where she held various offices, including President. Coleen is joyously reunited with her family who preceded her in death: her mother, Gertrude Lumm Pruit; her father John Attebery; her brother, Laverne and his wife Dorothy Attebery; and her beloved son, Mason, who she finally gets to hug again.
