April 12, 1915 — May 12, 2007
Harlingen, TX:
Hazel (Bryan) Wright, age 92, died on May 12, 2007, at her home in Harlingen, Texas, surrounded by her loving family and friends.
She was born April 12, 1915, at what is now known as Bryan’s Corner, Oklahoma, and spent her early years at Perryton, Texas, with her parents, W.C. and Beulah Bryan, brothers Wesley and Louis and sisters Loucile Shorb and Pauline Fleck all of whom predeceased her. She is survived by her sister, Evaline Hinds of Nebraska.
Hazel graduated from Perryton High School with academic honors and attended Oklahoma Panhandle State University where she met the love of her life, George W. Wright. George and Hazel were married June 23, 1934, at Perryton and made their home on the family farm near the little town of Optima in the Oklahoma Panhandle, later living in Guymon, Oklahoma. Her entire life, love and talents were dedicated to her family and friends.
After George’s death in 1987, Hazel began spending winter months with daughter, Margaret (Bill) Fabian, while maintaining her home in Guymon near her son Bryan (Donna) Wright. In later years as her health failed she gave up her home and became a permanent resident of Harlingen, Texas.
Hazel was a faithful and dedicated member of Victory Memorial Methodist Church in Guymon. She also attended and supported St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Port Isabel when in Texas. She was a member of the Guymon Chapter, Order of Eastern Star for more than 70 years.
