Thressa "Tracy" Agnes Hazzard

Thressa “Tracy” Agnes Hazzard went home to be with the Lord on September 20, 2024 in Denison, Texas surrounded by family. Tracy was born June 30, 1940 in Compton Rural, California at Bellflower Maternity & Convalescent Home to Sam Bylsma and Agnes (Buma) Bylsma. Her family lived on dairies in Southern California where she and her siblings all helped care for animals. She was a graduate of Anaheim High School and then went on to work at PacBell Telephone Company. Tracy married Monte on September 28, 1963 and shared fifty-eight wonderful years together. Tracy was introduced to Monte by his cousin while working underneath his car, at first Tracy only knew him by his feet. After they wed he was then drafted into the United States Army. He served overseas in Germany as a Chaplains Assistant, where he and Tracy got to travel a bit and visit new places and make some beautiful memories together. After her husband's service in the military, they came home to Anaheim where she and Monte started their family. Tracy was a stay at home mother and housewife while all three of their sons attended school. When their youngest son was older, but still in school she decided to go back to work where she became a school secretary and retired with Anaheim School District. Tracy was a member of Zion Lutheran Church of Anaheim for sixty-one years, where she and Monte were part of a couples group and this is where they both became very close to their dear friends the Wimberly's. She loved to spend time with her husband, sons and her four siblings. She also enjoyed going to La Vida Hot Springs with her children and sister(s). Tracy and Monte also had a love for animals and over the years they had quite a few, but there was one that stole her heart and that was Yodi. They took Yodi on many trips that they both got to enjoy and then they were blessed with little Jack who got to come along. Tracy loved to have her hair looking very nice and when dad was still alive, he made certain she was at her hairdressers every week. She had a love for her family and always made everyone feel so welcomed. She passed along so many valuable things over the years to her sons and some of those are to love your family, to walk with the Lord and to be a good person. Tracy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many and she will be missed dearly. Her legacy lives on through her three sons; Craig, Randy, Todd, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents; Sam and Agnes, husband; Monte and grandson Justen. She leaves behind her sons and daughter-in-law’s; Craig and Lynette Hazzard, Randy and Valarie Hazzard, Todd Hazzard, grandchildren; Richard, Anthony, Eddie, Brittany, Michael, Jasper and Jaslyn, great-grandchildren: Jesse, Jocelyn, Jackie and William, siblings: sisters JoAnn, Elizabeth and Evelyn, her brother David and many nieces and nephews.
