Hazel Louise Hedgepeth

ROCKY MOUNT – Hazel Louise Hedgepeth, age 89, passed away on Monday, January 3, 2022. Born in Belfast, OH on July 4, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Cecil Sprinkle and Orianna Davis Sprinkle. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Roy Benjamin Hedgepeth.

Hazel loved flowers and the butterflies that would surround them. She enjoyed rubber stamps and bead work. Hazel’s favorite colors were purple and orange. She was a member of Englewood Baptist Church where she graciously served. Hazel could always be found with her bible in her hand. Although her bible might have looked torn and tattered, her bible was her road map for life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her, but her loving spirit will never be forgotten as she was everything to her family.

Hazel is survived by her daughter, Louise Hedgepeth Pittman and husband, Tommy, of Rocky Mount; her son, Roy Charles Hedgepeth and wife, Lynn, of Sharpsburg; her grandchildren, Nicolas Wayne Hedgepeth and wife, Amanda, Amber Worthington and husband, Taylor, and Rodney Scott Hedgepeth; her great-grandchildren, Abby Nicole Hedgepeth, Avery Jade Hedgepeth, and Colt Worthington; and her sisters, Doris Newell and Ellen Eavers both of Ohio.

A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 7, 2022 at 2:00 PM Englewood Baptist Church, 1350 S. Winstead Avenue, Rocky Mount, NC 27804 with the Pastor Charles Taylor officiating. Burial will follow the service at Rocky Mount Memorial Park. A visitation will be from 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM prior to the service in the Sanctuary of Englewood Baptist Church.
