Ethel Louise Hawkes

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 12:51 PM - GateHouse Media, Inc. 

Ethel Louise Hawkes, 81, former Litchfield resident, passed away Sunday, March 1, 2010, at the Pisgah Manor Nursing Home in Asheville, N.C., after a long goodbye. She was born in Litchfield to Jay Danforth and Orinda (Lazenby) Hawkes and grew up on her parents’ dairy farm in Litchfield. At a young age when unable to convince her mom to make “Johnny Cakes” after school, she taught herself how, and this fiercely independent spirit carried Ethel though her entire life.  Ethel wanted to travel and see the world. In 1980, after retirement from Michigan Bell where she was a Supervisor/Peg count Observer, she packed her belongings in a U-Haul and moved herself to Asheville, N.C., to begin a new life. She was active in political campaigns for State Representatives in Michigan and North Carolina and was President of the Litchfield Business and Professional Women’s Club in 1978-79. Ethel was responsible for the operation of the sound system for the First Presbyterian Church of Asheville and manned the controls of that system for many years. She was active on the Western North Carolina Presbyterian’s Hunger Action Task Force and later became an active member of the Groce United Methodist Church of Asheville. Ethel devoted her entire life to helping people and making their days brighter. In her working career she received numerous awards and customers took the time to write real letters to thank her for going beyond what was expected. Ethel’s last job was probably her favorite because she loved babies and enjoyed her time working in the infant department at JC Penney’s. She was frugal with her money and was, therefore, able to leave lasting gifts. Ethel, with her brother, Irving Hawkes, donated the Methodist Cross and Flames on the Litchfield United Methodist Church in their parents’ memory. She is survived by one niece, Cecelia (David) Evans, Litchfield; three nephews, James Lee (Susan) Hawkes, Litchfield, George (Carol) Hawkes, Litchfield, Randy Hawkes, Litchfield; many nieces and nephews and special neighbors; and North Carolina “family” Ronnie Presley and James Dennis. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother. Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Wednesday at the George White Funeral Home, Litchfield, with the Rev. Michael Baker-Streevy officiating. Interment will follow in Mt. Hope Cemetery. Visitation is scheduled from noon until time of service Wednesday. Memorials are suggested to the Pisgah Manor Activities Fund, 95 Holcombe Cove Road, Candler, NC 28715.
