Hawkins, grandchildren Jeremiah Hawkins, Angela Hawkins, Joshua Hawkins, Ruthanne Hawkins Aguirre, Sarah Benton, James Hawkins, great granddaughter, Anneila Aguirre, as well as nieces and nephews. She loved gardening, decorating, sewing, baking Christmas cookies and taking care of her family. A woman of God, who spent many hours praying for family, others and nations. She was caring, generous, elegant, beautiful, creative, strong, determined and brave. And she was able to live out her life here on earth fully. She is not in our past, she is in our future! The family would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for His grace, mercy, peace and unending strength. We would also like to thank her caregivers and all of the staff from James River Hospice.
