Best remembered as Mom of the Year by her eight children, she gave them everything she had for their upbringing on “the farm” in Anderson, Indiana.
Rosalie Ann Hawkins, of Yuma, Arizona, passed from this life on Oct 16.
She was born in Anderson, Indiana, in 1938, to Lillian and Lawrence Girton, where she excelled at dance and being Head Indianette at Anderson High School in 1955-56.
Rosalie met and married her husband, Carldon “Don” S. Hawkins, in 1967, when they each agreed that combining their eight children into one family was a great idea.
