Larry Lee Hulsey

Larry Lee Hulsey, 63, of Mexia, passed away, Sunday, Feb. 23, 2020, in a Waco hospital following a lengthy illness. He was born on Dec. 20, 1956, in Houston, to Milton and Naomi (Riggle) Hulsey, a twin to Gary.

While attending Bellaire High School, he was an employee of Holloway Day Care, where he became close friends to the owners, Herb and Joyce Holloway and Dianne.

Larry moved to Hubbard in 1976, after marrying Karen Crabtree; two sons were born of this union. In 1978, he went to work in the Mexia State School Maintenance Department, but due to a back injury, which plagued him throughout his life, he was forced to retire after 25 years of service. He was given the nickname of “Rev” while employed at the MSS, which remained with him for the rest of his life.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Milton Hulsey and Naomi Rhodes; stepfather Weldon Rhodes; and a stepson, Jonathan Darden.

Larry is survived by his sons, Brandon L. Hulsey, of Temple, and Bradley A. Hulsey, of Wortham; a beloved grandson, Luke S. Hulsey of Florence, Colo.; two sisters, Nancy (Ray) Deming and Sue (Chris) Lobue, all of Montgomery; three brothers, Mark (Phyllis) Hulsey, of Richmond, Gary (Vicky) Hulsey, of Houston, and Mike (Jean) Hulsey, of Houston; friend Karen Hulsey, of Wortham; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and special friends and caretakers, Kim, Donnell and Melissa.

A memorial service for Larry will be held at 2:30 p.m. on March 7 at the Church of The Redeemed, 4300 Orchard Lane in Waco, with Pastor Jeff Stinson and son Brandon officiating. A video of his life will also be shared during the service. Refreshments will be served following the service.
