Ted E. (Teddy) Hazelett, 89, died unexpectedly on September 18, 2017, in Newark, Oh with his loving wife, Phyllis, at his side. Born September 4, 1928 in Huntington, WV, he was the youngest son of the late Roscoe Spencer and Zora Patricia (Godby) Hazelett. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Ralph Vernon and Charles Cameron Hazelett. Growing up in Lincoln County, near Midkiff, WV, he graduated from Guyan Valley High School, near Branchland in 1946, where he was very active in all sports. Following High School, Ted entered the United States Air Force and spent four years active duty with duty assignments to Ft. Francis E. Warren, Cheyenne, WY, Great Falls AFB Montana and 2 ½ years in Japan and Korea, where he earned several commendations and was elected to the Far East Sports Hall of Fame for participation in Baseball, Softball, Basketball, and Golf.

He worked for the Air Force as a Civilian for approximately 27 years with duty stations at Newark AFB, Ohio; Albrook AFB, Canal Zone, in the Republic of Panama. He was then offered a job as Systems Accountant at the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, Denver, CO where he remained until the offer as Chief Accountant, Ramstein AFB, Germany was too good to turn down. After completing his tour at Ramstein AFB, Germany, Ted returned to the AF Accounting and Finance center as a Supervisory System Accountant and subsequently the Chief Accountant at Lowry AFB, Aurora, CO where he remained until the desire to return to Newark, OH to spend more time with his family before retirement was overwhelming.
