Anna was born on December 11, 1951 in Port Arthur, Texas, and baptized at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on December 30, 1951. She graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School class of 1970. Shortly after, she married Joel Hawkins II. To this union one child was born, Joel Hawkins III. Anna worked at United States Post Office as a Supervisor. She was also employed at The Speak Easy and The Golden Eagle where she was able to share her love of cooking. It was common to receive a phone call to come get a bowl of gumbo or smothered chicken from her.
Anna is survived by her only child, son Joel (Shantel) Hawkins of Pearland, Texas and a host of nieces and nephews. She had a special bond with her niece Angelic Landry who cared for her in recent years. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonora Mesa and Wilford Armstrong Jr., her two sisters, Angelina Landry and Linda Jones and her nephew Arnold Rock Landry II.
Anna wished to be cremated following her services. The ash scattering will take place at a later date with the immediate family.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.grammier-oberle.com for the Hawkins family.
