On February 25, 2023 while resting peacefully in her home, the faith of Carol Elizabeth Baze Hess was made sight. She was born February 9, 1938 in Brady and graduated from Farmersville High School in 1955. Carol married James Hess on June 21, 1957 in Farmersville. She then received her bachelor's degree in education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. The quintessential coach's wife, Carol moved with Jimmy to Farmersville, McKinney, Rockwall, Houston, Baytown, San Angelo where they lived from 1972 - 1982, Nacogdoches, Las Cruces, and finally returning to San Angelo to retire in 1996. Carol was Jimmy's most loving and steadfast supporter, without whose sacrifice and devotion his success would not have been possible.

But while Carol enjoyed her role as Jimmy's biggest fan, she carved out her own career teaching elementary school for many years, particularly enjoying teaching math, selling real estate and owning a dress store - Mathis Baze. 

But her greatest love and longest lasting legacy is her marriage of 64 years to Jimmy and the family she created with him. She was and remains dearly loved by her two daughters, Kim and Terri, and her 7 grandchildren who called her Nanny. 

Carol was a member of the Johnson Street Church of Christ.

In addition to her two daughters, survivors include Kim's husband Blane Williams of Bella Vista, Arkansas, and Terri's husband Mike Garatoni of San Antonio; grandchildren, Tara Joiner, Lauren Guins and husband Cody of Christoval, Ali Hill and husband Casey of Memphis, Tennessee, Peter Garatoni and wife Whitney of Houston, Courtney Jezek and husband Travis of Midland, Jared Williams of Castle Rock, Colorado, and Michael Garatoni of San Antonio; 10 great grandchildren, Ketcher, Ali Rose, Kate, Mary, Emmerson, Tucker, Henry, Brazos, Anita, and Rosie; and a nephew, Col. Wallace Baze. Carol was preceded in death by her husband Jimmy, her parents Wayne and Helen Baze and her brother, Wallace Ray Baze. 

The family would like to thank Visiting Angels, especially LeAnn and two of her sweetest angels, Khali and Anna, and her wonderful friends and neighbors. 

The family will receive visitors from 5:00 - 6:30 PM Friday, March 3, 2023, at Robert Massie Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be 10:00 AM Saturday, March 4, 2023, at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. Burial will follow at Lawnhaven Memorial Garden under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

“Sometimes in life, a sudden situation, a moment in time, alters your whole life, forever changes the road ahead.”

Keenan Carrell Hancock was born on May 7, 1985, to Elaine (Willis Hancock) Bryant and Vernon Hancock and left this world to join Jesus on February 27, 2023, in Midland, Texas after a sudden cardiac event. He packed a lot of life and adventure in 37 short years. During his younger years, Keenan lived in Plains, Texas with his parents and surrounded by his extended family. When Keenan was 6 years old, Elaine and Vernon moved to San Angelo, Texas. Keenan attended San Angelo ISD where he graduated in 2003. After living in several places over the years in search of a fulfilling career, Keenan settled in Midland and was employed by Smart Chemical Solutions. He loved his job and tried to do more than was expected to help his colleagues. Keenan had immense wit and a boundless sense of humor. If you were not smiling or laughing when you were around him, you simply were not listening. Even though Keenan struggled with severe anxiety in certain situations, he always tried to be where he was needed most. Caring for others was his greatest gift. Keenan had a very special relationship with his grandmothers, Jackie and Wilda. He loved them dearly. Keenan also had a very special relationship with his nephews, Ashton, Jaxson, and Lexson. They were always so excited to see Uncle Keenan. Keenan loved Jesus, and he knew Jesus. Although he was not active in a church, Keenan sought God’s wisdom and guidance in his life and was a deeply spiritual person.

Keenan was welcomed into heaven by his grandparents, Durward Willis, Wilda and Andy Warren, Don Hancock, and Dallas and Barbara Brewer. No doubt the celebration is big.

Keenan is survived by his parents, Elaine Bryant of San Angelo and Vernon and Kim Hancock of Lubbock, and his grandmother, Jackie Willis of San Angelo. He is also survived by his sister, Tarren Hancock, and nephews Ashton, Jaxson, and Lexson Huff of Bulverde, his step-sister, Kylee Whipple, and step-brother, Kirk Whipple and Erin Baker and nephew Landon Perez, all of Lubbock, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Under the direction of Harper Funeral Home, a Celebration of Life for Keenan will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. at Southgate Church of Christ in San Angelo, Texas with Bro. Paul Shero officiating.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in Keenan’s name to San Angelo Christian Academy, 518 Country Club Rd, San Angelo, TX 76904 or a favorite charity.
