Mattie Lene Hazelwood was born December 15, 1925 in Basket Station, KY to Ira and Zella (Carter) Hazelwood. Mattie went to Walk with the Lord on December 8, 2018 at Methodist Hospital in Henderson, KY.
“Walk with me Lord” words Mattie often would say as she went about her day. Although quite in spirit her words left you wondering whether she could foresee the future or had she recalled the past. Mattie held the words of the LORD close to her heart and shared them with all her family. If we close our eyes we can see her small frame , sweet smile and smooth brown skin whispering the words of what you better do if you want to go to heaven. She knew her struggles with raising twelve children of her own and nurturing many others. This song “Walk with Me Lord” became her strength as she washed the clothes on the wash board, stood in the commodity food line , walked in the rain to town , set by candle light to repair worn out clothing, gave the wake up call for school and work, gathered home remedies for whatever sickness, cracked the whip on those 6 feet long switches, raked the coals to stir up more heat, harvesting the garden for winter food, pinching pennies to buy one pair of new shoes to hand down to the younger child, making palets on the floors, patching holes in the walls , putting out pans to catch water as it dripped form the ceiling, sitting by the door waiting for you to come home, being the referee between kids, you can only smile because you are captured in one or more of these memories! Mattie was indeed a power house and a force to be reckoned with , Well, she’s grown tired now and wants to rest……
So when you here the words “Walk with Me” being sung,
embrace the spirit of Mattie and know she is walking with the LORD!
Mattie is preceded in death by her parents; Ira and Zella (Carter) Hazelwood, children; Mary Ann Savage ,Ronnie Thomas Clifford Hazelwood, Donnie Hazelwood, siblings; Ethel Gilbert , Laura Hill , Elizabeth Bushrod , Juanita Tapp, Edward Hazelwood, Allois Cabel and Robert Hazelwood.
