LARRY GLENN WALDROP

Larry Glenn Waldrop, 71, passed away on Feb. 18, 2022, at his home in Coolidge. Graveside services were 11 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 22, in the Prairie Hill Cemetery with the Rev. Robert Barnett officiating. Pallbearers were nephews, Cody Waldrop, Kit Waldrop, BJ Ewell, Kent Jackson, Carter Wheat and Gavin Henderson.

Larry was born in Mexia Dec. 21, 1950, to Billy George Waldrop Sr. and Clara June (Jones) Waldrop. He graduated from Mexia High School, where he played football, No. 66, for the Mexia Blackcats in 1969. It was a memorable team with Coach Bob McQueen and Ray Rhodes. He attended college at Texas Tech University and Stephen F. Austin State University. He retired from a career in the service industry.

Larry was an avid reader, a dedicated Dallas Cowboys fan, loved fishing and animals, especially his cat, Leeta, who was his constant companion during his illness. He loved and adored his daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and entire family. He is remembered for his kind spirit and loving heart. Lindsay and Leah like to think of him sitting at his workbench piddling away at some small item to repair. He loved to play Free Cell, especially to distract him from the curse of the Cowboys losses.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Billy and Clara June Waldrop; sister, Sandi McKissack; and brother-in-law, Huey Henderson.

Larry is survived by his daughter, Lindsay Stanley and her husband Derek; grandchildren Jaxon, Ryder and Lexi; sister, Leah Henderson; brother, Bill Waldrop Jr.; and step-daughter, Monica Hunt and family. He also had many nieces and nephews who loved him very much.
