A woman of deep Christian faith, Edee was a longtime member of Trinity Episcopal Church. She was devoted to her children and grandchildren, taking an active and loving interest in their lives and activities. She also served as a member of the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, remaining active and supportive until illness prevented her participation during the final year of her life.

Edee was known for her kindness, her loving spirit, and her steadfast faith. She touched the lives of those who knew her, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who loved her.

She is survived by her beloved husband, George Edmon Hawkins; her son, George Timothy Hawkins; her daughter, Hayley Marie Marsh, and her husband, John Marsh; her son, John Todd Hawkins, and his wife, Shannon; and her brother, John Keith Pittman, and his wife, Debbie.
