A native of Delphia, Kentucky, LaRue has lived in Beaumont since 1953. She worked as a scrub technician in the labor and delivery department of St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont for 37 years, before retiring in 2012. LaRue was a faithful member of the Forest Park Methodist Church in Beaumont. She was strong in her faith and could always be found reading – especially her Bible. She also proudly served in the United States Navy from 1952-1953. LaRue enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and loved all things red.
A Celebration Graveside Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Beaumont.
LaRue was preceded in death by her loving husband of 35 years, Jack H. Hawley Sr.; her son, Jack H. Hawley Jr.; her parents, Claude Asher and Betty Morgan; her brothers, Dillard Asher, Dennis Asher, and Basil Morgan; and her great grandson, McCoy Gould.
LaRue is survived by her sister, Mary Lou Brown of Lafayette, Kentucky; son, James Thomas Hawley and his wife Paula of Flint; daughter, Charolett Granger and her husband Ronnie of Beaumont; her grandchildren, Tommy Laman and his wife Amanda of Beaumont, J.T. Hawley of Tyler, Chase Hawley of Euless, Skylyn Pete and her husband Jason of Westlake, Louisiana, Katarina Gould and her husband Lathan of Vidor, Natalie Granger and Noah of Georgetown; and her great grandchildren, Gracie Laman, Colt Laman, Brayden Guillory, and Stormie Guillory.
LaRue was faith, selflessness, and love personified, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
