Hazel Denise Pouncy

January 30, 1966 - May 19, 2020

Hazel Denise Pouncy, transitioned from this life on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at the age of 54 in hospice care at Menorah Medical Center. By God’s amazing grace, she was surrounded by family as she departed. Hazel is survived by her mother, Ethel Eddington; children, Kennyatta DeShannon Eddington and Kenneth Eddington; grandchildren, Shyla and Salum Mahrook; siblings, Ms. Linnie Passmore, Rose Mary Bell (Gregory) and Raymond Jr.; niece, Christine (Hewitt) Gordon, and nephew, DeShawn Hammons; great-nieces, Jaleah, Laila, Evelynn and Kaleah; and many other loved ones. Hazel was preceded in death by her father, Raymond R. Eddington Sr.; sister, Mattie D. Young; and brother, Otis D. Eddington. Hazel was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 30, 1966, to the late Rev. Raymond and Ethel Eddington. She loved to watch movies, listen to old spirituals and spend time with her grandchildren. Hazel affectionately known as Denise, graduated from Wright Business College as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA). Denise was always willing to help people hence, her reason for becoming a CMA. She had a hearty sense of humor and could easily bring a crowd to tears. Denise was also gifted with braiding hair and enjoyed creating beautiful hairstyles. Prior to departing this life, we believe Hazel accepted Christ as her savior and is spending eternity with him: reuniting with those gone on before. No more suffering in this world. One day we pray to see her again. With current restrictions in place, a private celebration of life will be attended by immediate family. Condolences may be offered via a drive thru acknowledgement. Additional information will be shared later. Love you unconditionally, Your family
