REMEMBERING
•ULYSSES -Marjory L. Blass Hawkins, 86, of Great Falls, MT, formerly of Coudersport, PA , passed from this life into the everlasting arms of Jesus on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 in Benefis Hospital, Great Falls. Born September 18, 1930, in Coudersport, PA, she was the daughter of Everett R. and Marian E. Neefe Blass.
After graduating with honors from Syracuse University as a Registered Nurse, she married Paul Edward Hawkins on June 14, 1952. Together they shared Paul’s Air Force military career. In Paris, their first child Eric P. Hawkins was born (currently of Coudersport, PA), then a daughter Linda M. Hawkins at Andrews AFB, Maryland (currently of Great Falls Montana), and Jay D. Hawkins was born in London, England. After military retirement, Marjory and Paul moved to sunny Barefoot Bay , Bay , Bay Florida. It was there in 1993, that, sadly she and Paul divorced. Despite the divorce, Marjory always considered herself married till “death do we part” which did occur when Paul predeceased her in May 1997. M arjory had moved to Great Falls, Montana after her divorce in 1993 fulfilling a childhood dream of living in the Wi ld, Wi ld, We st.
There she lived and blessed her daughter , daughter , daughter son-in-law , son-in-law , son-in-law and their family with her presence, wisdom, and wit. As a true lover of Jesus, she lived out the greatest commandments to ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’. To d o this she would ‘pray without ceasing’ and ‘in all her ways she acknowledged God so that He could direct her path’. Everything she did she would cover in prayer . She was a faithful member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
She lived out the second of the greatest commandments which is to ‘love your neighbor as your - your - your self ’. Marjory lived this out daily by putting herself last. The only time she struggled with that command was when she would play a frequent game of Scrabble by only per - per - per mitting words she was familiar with from her lifetime, excluding any computer terms that her grandchildren were familiar with. She would give of herself, whether as a volunteer hostess at the Great Falls Senior Center or as a prayer warrior as she advocated on behalf of veterans, friends, family , family , family and strangers, or by sharing her money to many charities, (and it wouldn’ t be unusual to catch her passing a $20 bill to a stranger in a restaurant), but mostly she would offer her smile. It was her best feature and her most precious talent.
It would come with her stories, through her sarcasm, or with her spunk. She’d bring joy whether you’d like it or not. She will be missed. We h ave been truly blessed. Surviving her are: one son, Eric Hawkins of Coudersport; one daughter , daughter , daughter Linda (Bud) Grovhoug of Great Falls; two grandchildren, Kristina Grovhoug and Nathan Grovhoug, both of Great Falls; two great-grandchildren, Christian and Elijah; a brother , brother , brother Everett (Rita) Blass, Jr .
of Coudersport; nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by two sons, Jay Hawkins and infant, Andrew John Hawkins; granddaughter , daughter , daughter Ambre Lee Ya ndell Grovhoug; and sister , sister , sister Char - Char - Char lotte I. Freeman. Funeral services will be held at Olney Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Ulysses, PA o n Saturday , Saturday , Saturday February 11, 2017. Burial will be in Sweden Hill Cemetery , Cemetery , Cemetery Coudersport, PA .
Memorials may be made to Ulysses Library , Library , Library P. O. Box 316, Ulysses, PA 1 6948. Online condolences may be expressed at www .olneyfuneral - home.com. For family and friends in Great Falls, Montana, there will be a Celebration of Life at a future date.
