Besides running, Hawkins loves gardening and family time.
She loved her 70-year husband, Murray Hawkins. “He was from New Orleans, I from Ponchatoula. Met him, he was smart and good-looking. I wrote about him,” she said of their start.
They married by telephone eight years later. “He was in Pearl Harbor during bombing. We married by phone. Father-in-law checked legality. It was legal,” she said.
Hawkins has wisdom. Seek “magic moments” like sunrises, sunsets, shooting stars. “Watch for amazing things. Don’t need wealth. Just be observant,” she said.
