Hazel Cox Powell, 91, of Little Rock, passed away December 5, 2011. She was born in Prescott to George and Jewel Barham Cox and was a member of Primrose United Methodist Church. She was a retired teacher from the Little Rock School District.

Cox and wife, Joy, both of Prescott, and Charles L. Cox of Ashdown; her sister, Mary J. Powell and husband, Rayburn of Conway; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Hazel never met a stranger. She was the most generous and loving person you would ever meet, always thinking of others and what she could do for someone else. She was everyone's favorite teacher back in her teaching days, everyone's favorite aunt and a great friend to whoever had the pleasure of knowing her. Hazel was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
