Hazel Virginia (Yearout) Davis, 92, of Dewey, passed away peacefully at 5:45 AM on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at the Bartlesville Care & Rehab Community.
Hazel was born in Dewey Oklahoma on May 22, 1921. She was the first born from the union of James C. Yearout and Bessie M. Bush. She grew up in the Dewey/Bartlesville area and graduated high school in 1938, as a member of the last graduating class from the present Bartlesville Central Middle School. On December 23, 1939, in Bartlesville, Hazel married Leonard Kauffman. From this union one daughter was born. On November 18, 1944, Hazel married Louis M. Davis who had recently returned from combat in WWII. From this union two sons and one daughter were born. After raising her four children, Hazel graduated from the Bartlesville Beauty College, and began a long career as a cosmetologist. She made many long term friends during her time as a beauty shop owner and continued to perform her trade until she was well up in her 80's.
Hazel was a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother and friend to many. She attended the Dewey Christian Church and for many years was a member of the Fidelis Bible School Class which she enjoyed very much. Hazel belonged to the Red Hat Society, Heaven Bound ladies group, her neighborhood club, and the Class of 38 reunion committee. She was a talented seamstress, homemaker, and loved to crochet. Most of all she loved being surrounded by her family and especially all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. They brought a smile to her face and helped keep the twinkle in her eyes.

I am greatly saddened to learn of Hazel's passing. Our families were so close & her children were my sisters & myself's best playmates. Many fun times were had at Hazel & Louis's home & they always made everyone feel welcome! She was a very beautiful person, both inside & out. Spunky is the word I myself find to describe this wonderful lady, whom I will miss so very much!
