Phyllis Ann Hazle

Phyllis Ann Wagoner Hazle, 91, of Hodgenville, formerly of Magnolia, passed away Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, at Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown.

She and her husband, Charles 'Red' were the owners and operators of Hazle Farm Supply from 1956-2013, where many LaRue Countians shopped for everything from feed, plants, seeds and equipment for their farming and gardening needs.

Phyllis was an avid reader of her Bible and helped with many vacation Bible schools in her younger days at Three Forks of Bacon Creek and other small churches. After graduating from Magnolia High School as valedictorian, she worked at the LaRue County Health Department. A master of crossword puzzles and a well-known cook, Phyllis was adamant about her independence.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her husband, Charles, in January 2017; her parents, Alonzo and Margaret Pringle Wagoner; as well as four brothers, Z.L., Fred, Charles Robert and James Wagoner.

Survivors include her sister, Lynda Stearman as well as two daughters, Kathy (Garry) Ross and Connie Baker, all of Hodgenville; a son, Dr. Charles (Kristie) Hazle of Winchester. In addition, she is survived by four granddaughters, Beth Turner, Allison Elmore, Katie Holt and Sarah Caven, all of Hodgenville; seven great-grandchildren, Biven and Baines Turner, Griffey and Ripken Elmore and Amos, Jude and Vivi Caven; along with several nieces and nephews.

The funeral is at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at Bennett-Bertram Funeral Home in Hodgenville with Brad Turner and Terry Caven officiating. Burial follows in Red Hill cemetery alongside her husband.

Visitation is from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday and continues from 9 a.m. until time of service Friday at the funeral home.
