Dora Ann (Janes) Hawkins Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Dora Ann Hawkins (a.k.a. Doie) 78, of Louisville, Kentucky, born in Adair County, Ky passed from this earth on Saturday October 9, 2021. Dora was the center of the Hawkins household and a cornerstone for the care and well-being of her Husband (Bill) and her Son (Henry) for over 60 years moving from Portland to the suburbs of Dixie Highway in 1963. She cherished the loving friends that life brought her from the childhood friends established in Portland to the new neighborhood experiences of great new friends including the Bunco ladies. Doie’s life was further enriched with the birth of her Granddaughter (Emily) in 1990 and Grandson (Noah) in 1999. She was very active in participating and creating the childhood experiences that the Family enjoyed. She lived her life in her earlier years enjoying the drive to socialize with friends, travels with family and cooking for friends and family. The last few years presented many challenges for Doie as her physical condition declined and her dementia increase, but She always found a way to remember some of the most precious moments of her life including her beginnings and tie to the “country” in Adair Co. No doubt the pandemic and the lengthy periods of isolation contributed to Doie’s shortened time on this earth. Preceded in death by her husband, William Henry Lee Hawkins Jr. (Bill), her parents, Parvin F. Janes and Lois Janes (Stotts), brothers Parvin Delano Janes and Gerald Parvin Janes (Jerry) and sister Sue Rigdon. Survived by her loving son and grandchildren; son, William “Henry” Lee Hawkins III and two grandchildren, Emily Nicole Hawkins and William Noah Hawkins and blessed by many in-laws from the Hawkins Family. Funeral services will be Friday October 15, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at Owen Funeral Home, 5317 Dixie Highway preceded by Visitation from 9:00 to 11:00 and followed by burial at Louisville Memorial Gardens, 4400 Memorial Gardens Drive (Dixie Highway), Louisville Kentucky.
