Harold Wayne Vaughn

April 17, 1937 ~ August 2, 2022
Harold Wayne Vaughn was born April 17, 1937 to Arthur & Bera Mae Vaughn in Jenkins, Texas and passed away August 2, 2022 in Hughes Springs, Texas. Harold retired from Brown & Root after 30 years with most of those spent as a Project Manager. He was a member of Bradfield Chapel United Methodist Church. Harold was preceded in death by his parents; five sisters; and five brothers.

Harold was always ready to help if you were in need. He served in several different positions in the Daingerfield Youth baseball and softball leagues. He was a past master of the Masonic Lodge of Hughes Springs, Texas and also a Shriner. He had a particular knack for fixing broken things and the family jokes that he wouldn’t buy new if he could find something used to fix. He was an avid reader of western books and was known to read the same books again and again over the years. He was also an avid gardener and perfected the art of tending the garden from a golf cart. He touched the lives of so many people and he will be sorely missed.

When I saw this, my memory took me back to the summer of 64/65. I learned to water ski and Harold (Mr Vaughn to me) was the boat driver. I remember such a fun summer with him, Jackie and Donna putting up with us teens. A good man , my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Sorry to hear about Harold. We went to school together at Daingerfield.
Thinking of you and the family. Sending hugs and prayers.
