Beloved Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend, Family

Historian, Genealogist, Motivator, Scout Leader,

Primary Teacher, and amazing women devoted to her faith!

Faye with her Brother Raymond Faye with her Youngest Brother Joe

Mary Alice Hill (Faye’s mother) with her 3 oldest babies in front of the

Syracuse home on 1000 West by the cemetery. Faye is the child on the

back of the horse. She was born in the room behind with the window.

Faye’s dad was her 8th grade teacher and the principle at the 4 room

school in Syracuse. Arthur, his children and the neighbors walked a

mile to school. In the winter he blazed a trail for them to follow. Notice

the girls are wore dress. Faye is on the 2nd row, 3rd from the right.

Arthur Anderson like to buy new cars. This picture is about 1935.

Faye is holding a fish. I bet she thought that was super!

Grandma Alice kept geese, chickens, baby lambs and Darlene in this

cage. She tended toddle, while Faye worked and Norman was in the Air

Force. Faye and Darlene lived with Grandma and Grandpa at this time.

Faye married Norman Hawks in the Salt Lake City Temple March 31,

1942 at the age of 22. They lived in Clearfield on Antelope Road after

he came home from war. They built a new red brick home.

They didn’t have anyone to take their picture, so they took each other's

picture.. They met at the White City Ballroom in Ogden. First she

danced with Norman's brother Dan, but Norman caught her eye.

Grandpa is off to War and Grandma is pregnant with Darlene, despite

the circumstances, she is smiling happy and so in love!

5

Norman had leave from the military to come home for Darlene’s birth.

His company left for Normandy France while he was gone and he

ended up in India for World War II. This probably saved his life.

This location of this picture is 24

th and Quincy in Ogden. This is the

home of Norman’s parents., Frank and Chloe Hawks. Frank is in the

background leaning over; grandma is up on the porch. The family

group in front is Faye, Norman and all 6 children. Frank and Chloe

retired to this home in Ogden. Norman never lived here.

6

Faye and Norman moved their young family to the farm in Idaho. They

were there for 8 years. It was hard work, they lived in a machine shed

with only a kitchen sink for the first few years until they built another

Red brick home.

7

After living in Idaho, they moved to Huntsville. Here is Faye with the

cows on the farm. They grew hay, raised pigs, cattle and turkeys,

raspberries, and peas. This is the farm where the grandkids learned to

run from the mean chickens, pick raspberries and the law of tithing.

For every 10 raspberries you picked, you were able to eat one! Once

Faye killed 30 mice in the house in one day. She also found a snake in

her kitchen cupboard. The grandkids enjoyed swinging over the ditch

in the front of the house on

the willows from the willow

tree, dear hunting as

families, having extended

family get togethers, family

re-unions and swinging on

the big swing in the barn.

Grandma's house in

Huntsville was always an

adventure. One time the bull

got out and all the women

and children had to climb the

haystack in the barn while

them men figured out how to

get the bull back in the

fence.

Dear Hunting in Huntsville. I am amazed they dressed all of us up and

took us up on the mountain! It was great fun!

Norman Hawks and their children in the early 1980's.

They have 6 children, 28 grandchildren, 101 great

grandchildren and 7 great great grandchildren.

10

Faye loved Scouting, she helped hundreds of boys on their pathway to

become Eagle Scouts. Everyone of her sons and most of her grandsons

are Eagle Scouts. She left a great legacy of the importance of scouting!

11

Grandma believed everyone was of worth and motivated and inspired

us all to do our very best and NEVER GIVE UP! Do you remember

these signs hanging up in her house?

12

For as long as I can remember this sign hung in her china closet in St.

George. She said it was her motto and SHE LIVED BY IT!

She enjoyed volunteering at the Senior Center every week!

13

Grandma was thrifty and careful with her money. She liked to hang out

her clothes to dry and didn’t use a dish washer either. This pictures was

taken in the back of her St. George home where Grandpa tried for years

to successfully grow tomatoes in the red sand.

Faye in front of the home on 1000 West in Syracuse by the big white

snow ball bush tree. She would help her mother sell peonies on

Memorial Day for those visiting the cemetery.

14

A job well done was of the

upmost importance to Faye.

She worked at Hill Field Air

Force Base for many years. She

was an expert typist. She taught

us to always do the very best

job possible.

Education was important to

Faye and Norman. She

attended classes with her

husband, who was the

oldest graduate from Dixie

State College, to help him

because he was hard of

hearing. She would

attended the classes to take

notes and help him study.

Two of his granddaughters

attended college at the

same time as their

Grandpa.

She was his support and

caregiver. She would drive

him to dialysis multiple

times a week for the last

few years of his life,

crocheting afghans to

distribute to other patients

and loved ones.

15

Grandma enjoyed

traveling across the

world! Here she is

July of 2010 at the

age of 89 in

Massachusetts

where Norman's

ancestors settled.

She loved her

ancestors and took

great pride in her

heritage. Research

and family history

was her passion.

Faye is pictured at

Plymouth Plantation.

Norman's 12th great

grandmother Mary

Allerton was the last

surviving Mayflower

passenger, crossing the

Atlantic at age 4 and

settling our great

country.

was her favorite spot to visit. She went there twice. She loved Christ,

learning about his life and walking in his footsteps.

Faye in front of the Coliseum in Rome. In her travels, she visited 50

countries, no more, no less. She loved to travel with her family and

enjoyed learning about the cultures around the world.

17

Ciaro, Egypt and the Pyramids

The St. George temple was across of the street the condo she bought in

downtown St. George in 2007. She visited the temple weekly.

18

Life was always full, fun and busy with grandma. Here she is on her

90th birthday celebration with the majority of her posterity this past

August of 2011. What a wonderful legacy she has left.

We Love you Grandma!

"I love you, with all my heart" is what she'd always say.

I am so very glad to know... I'll see her again someday!

The Testimony of Faye A. Hawks

Just a few days before she passed away, she took a trip around the

temple grounds, enjoying the beauty and peace that the temple brings.

She dedicated her life to her posterity, her progenitors and to her faith.
