Katie Hawkins, age 102, Bolivar, died Thursday, May 13, 2004, at 9:05 a.m. in Citizens Memorial Healthcare Facility, Bolivar. Katie was born on Jan. 13, 1902, in Goodson, Mo., to I.L. Farmer and Martha Jump Farmer. She was a lifelong resident of Bolivar. On Nov. 26, 1919, she married Joe Hawkins.
She was a member of First Baptist Church of Bolivar, where she devoted her time and talents to church activities. She was a Luziers Cosmetics Consultant for 50 years, a lifetime member of the American Legion, and a charter member of the Citizens Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Katie was known for her ability to memorize and recite poetry. She was interviewed by Paul Harvey and was featured on his radio broadcast on two occasions. Katie was the oldest known living direct descendant of Nathan Boone. Katie enjoyed life, family and friends. Her hobbies included crocheting, gardening and studying the Bible. We will miss her dearly and will always cherish our memories of her. We rejoice that she is now with the Lord, at peace, and free from pain; yet we sorrow in the void that her absence will forever leave in our lives.
She is survived by two daughters, Maxine Davis, Phoenix, Ariz., and Betty Killian and her husband, Bob, Springfield, Mo.; grandchildren, Randall Sheridan, Springfield, Dana Hawkins, Springfield, Tommie Miller, Bolivar, Joe Killian, Springfield, and Bill Killian, Springfield; 12 great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers; husband Joe Hawkins; son L.J. Hawkins; daughter-in-law Elsie Hawkins; son-in-law Bill Davis; grandson Roger Killian; and granddaughter Katie Lou Chandler.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 16, 2004, in First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Mo., with Dr. Ray Leininger officiating. Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery, Bolivar. Pallbearers will be Randall Sheridan, Dana Hawkins, Joe Killian, Bill Killian, Terry Miller and Heath Hawkins. Honorary pallbearers will be Hal Hawkins, Mike Miller, Jeff Miller, Eric Baker, Hunter Toombs and Darin Rowe. Visitation will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. Saturday in the funeral home. In lieu of plants and flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar in care of the funeral home. Arrangements are under the direction of Pitts Chapel of Bolivar.
