Hazell Hartman

Hazell R. Hartman, 93, of Clemmons, passed away peacefully July 13, 2022, after a long battle with dementia.  She is preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Lawrence, and oldest son, Lawrence Kittrick “Rick” Hartman.  She leaves behind her children, Ron (Linda) of Clemmons, Keith (Debbie) of Purlear, and Tracey (Brian) of Cocoa, FL; also, her only surviving sibling, Judy Davenport of Dallas, TX; six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren, and many loving nieces and nephews.  Born June 12, 1929, in East Bend, Hazell was the daughter of the late Henry Evan Ring and Florentine Sabina Baker Ring.  Hazell was a resident of Clemmons and a lifelong member of Center Grove Baptist Church until her illness began.  She married a handsome WWII veteran and spent her life raising their four children before becoming the caretaker to Lawrence after his series of strokes.  She was always there to take care of someone whether you were a member of her family or not.  During her life, she had a passion for her work in the church, genealogy, volunteering with the Red Cross, delivering meals for Meals on Wheels, and was a voracious reader.  Her books were her greatest comfort in her later years.  As dementia progressed, she moved to the Clemmons Village 1- Memory Care facility where they took care of her with compassion for years until she passed.  We will be forever grateful for the hard work and service they offered her as the disease progressed.  True angels on earth.  The matriarch of the Hartman family will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.  She was the glue that held everyone together.  A small graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at Center Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, located at the Center Grove Church Youth Center, 9035 Center Grove Church Rd., Clemmons, NC 27012.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Clemmons Village 1, 6401 Holder Rd. Clemmons, NC 27012.
