Obituary

Hazel Maxine (Richardson) Hope, age 87 of Ferris, Texas, passed away August 25, 2020. She was born in October of 1932 to the late Abner Zeke and Sue (Hiser) Richardson in Dallas, Texas. As a young adult she went on a blind date with Mr. Willie Dee Hope, they were later married on November 15, 1952 in Hutchins, Texas and spent 64 wonderful years together. Over the years she worked as a receptionist in Doctor's offices and was also the bookkeeper for the family business: Willie Hope Construction. Hazel was always helping others with their needs, be it a loan of money or the use of her car. She is remembered for putting together and sending care packages to soldiers over seas and many times coordinating church events and preparing meals for those in need. She is a charter member of New Beginnings Bible Church in Ferris, Texas. Her love and dedication to her church and church family was unparalleled. Often she could be found praying at the church before services, anointing each doorway that others who enter might be blessed. She enjoyed quilting, sitting down with a good puzzle and cooking for her family. Her coconut cream and chocolate cream pies, especially at holiday time, will be missed.

She is preceded in death by her parents; devoted husband Willie Dee Hope; son Gary D. Hope; and sisters Helen Richardson and Fettie Moody.

She is survived by her loving children: Karen and husband Victor Garcia of Ferris and Mark and wife Melinda Hope of Red Oak; grandchildren: Matthew and wife Ashley Garcia of Ennis, Mariah and husband Victor Aguilar of Red Oak, Lorrie and husband Tommy Dixson of Glenn Heights and Emily Garcia of Midlothian; great-grandchildren: Mackenzie Tidwell of Red Oak, Trey Dixson, Isaac Dixson, and Adrianna Dixson all of Glenn Heights, Ranger Garcia and Rhodes Garcia of Ennis; sister Eva Sue Bell of Ennis; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family and friends.
