The Bakersfield Californian 
Hazel Edith Gray
Jan. 25, 1910 Dec. 29, 2004

Services: Mon., Jan. 17, 11 a.m. 

Hazel Edith Gray, 94, of Bakersfield, California, died peacefully in her sleep 
on December 29th, in LaPine, Oregon. Born on January 25, 1910, in Hurricane, 
Utah, she moved to Bakersfield with her family as a child. Hazel was in the 
graduating class of 1928 from Kern County Union High School. Hazel married the 
love of her life, Roy Gifford Gray on June 21, 1930. They had two children, 
Harry and Judy. In retirement, they traveled internationally, spending their 
winters in Mexico and their summers in Canada, frequently vacationing with 
friends and family. An active and enthusiastic participant of her community, 
Hazel was a member of the Womans Club, her childrens PTA, multiple Bridge 
clubs, and Trinity Methodist Church. Her endless ability to exude energy and 
love carried with her throughout her entire life. Her vast circle of family 
and friends were drawn by her effervescence and endearing nature. With a small 
charismatic laugh, Hazel would smile and light up your world.

Preceded in death by her husband, Gifford, in 1978, Hazel is survived by her 
two children, Harry Gray and Judy Gray Bebout and husband, Randy Bebout; three 
grandchildren, Gary Gray and wife, Joyce Gray, Cindy Gray Hayes, and Lori 
Wymore; 7 great-grandchildren, Geoffrey Gray, Mandi Anderson and Gina Wood, 
Barry and Jenna Hayes, Samantha Bebout and Randee Wymore, and her 3 great-
great-grandchildren.

Hazel will always be remembered for her engaging ability to shine love and 
warmth on all who knew her. Rather than mourn the fact that Hazel has passed 
on, she would prefer we reflect on the precious time we had with her in our 
lives. There are many beautiful things to be found in life and Hazel was a 
gleaming example of one of them.

Memorial services will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church, at 11:00 
a.m. on January 17th. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that you make a 
donation to the Trinity United Methodist Church or Bend LaPine Hospice in 
Bend, Oregon 97701.
