Elmer Hawkins was a kind man, always smiling. I worked with him for a short time. He was never in a badd mood just happy.. He will definitely be missed.
I have known Elmer and Virginia since I was ten. They were neighbors, family friends, and hired me for my first babysitting job. Through the years, all the Hawkins were like family. Elmer was always kind. I am so sorry for your loss. Joanie Shoemaker Merrill
Elmer was a kind individual who always was quick to smile. In my younger years I had a number of hearings and cases in opposition. He believed that most cases should be settled if possible for all concerned best benefit. I agree with that philosophy. I will miss seeing Elmer in Probate court.
My deepest condolences to Jeff and the rest of the Hawkins family. From the comments made, thank God you have that eternal hope of being reunited for eternity.
Blessings of peace and comfort on all of you.
Your Wednesday morning bible study group will certainly miss your knowledge and wisdom. While you were a man of few words, we all knew that when you spoke, we should all listen. May God bless you and keep you until we all meet in heaven.
Elmer Hawkins was a great mentor to me when I was working for Woolin, Brown and Hawkins my senior year of high school! He was very kind and pleasant man! My condolences to all the family!

Geri, My sympathy and prayers are with you. I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you are. So sorry about your Dad.
I will always remember his visits at the LSA for Grandparent’s Day. He was a very gentle soul. Continued prayers for your family.🙏
