He was a devoted father or three sons and always had time for anyone that needed him through all of his years, if anyone ever had problems be them family of friend, he always had time and a way to help. This must have been part of his reason for being here on earth.

Survivors include three sons, Eldon of OKC; Elvin Leon of Del City; and Harmon Jr. and wife Sinda, of OKC; six grandchildren, Stanton, Robbie, Bret, Blayne, Christy, and Tiffany; two sister, Jim Bowman and Mary Jane Standifer; five great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Hazel Beatrice (Shatswell) Hembree, born July 20, 1920 to Myrtle Bell and Joseph Richard Shatswell, passed away Jan. 3, 2000 at home.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Harmon Hembree, Sr. of the home, three sons Eldon of the home, Elvin Leon of Del City, Harmon, Jr. and wife Sinda of OKC; six grandchildren, Stanton, Robbie, Bret, Blayne, Christy, and Tiffany; two sisters, Ruby Alexander, and Dorthy Shadid; two brothers, J. T. and L. D. Shatswell; four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews and friends.

She was preceded by one grandson, Ricky Gerald Hembree in Sept. 1993.

Throughout her life she seemed to take on a role to help anyone in need. She gave new meaning to motherhood. She always gave love, understanding, and most of all, unconditional love to all her children, their spouses and her grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved her. Gone but not forgotten, and someday we will all be together again in Heaven.
