Posted for Kit Hawkins:


Here is Norma as a baby:



Norma is about twenty years old in the picture below. She knitted the dress herself. It's my favorite picture of her as a youth, so I had it put on canvas and framed. It is hanging in our home along side of a similar picture of my father.



The picture below to the left is another of Mom as a young woman. The one to the right was taken in 1943; she was 27 years old and having her first child, David Lester Hawkins.























This next shot is of Norma Dorine Hallmark and William Lester Hawkins on their wedding day, May 27, 1942.


The picture below of William Lester Hawkins at age 19 was taken in 1931 in San Francisco shortly after he arrived and was sent home to Grandpa Charles Eli Hawkins and Grandma Clara Ludlow Hawkins as a peace offering after he had run away from home.



In the picture below, Mary Luella Grow Hallmark (Norma's mother) is on the left. I think the other people were her parents and siblings.



The picture below is of Norma's father, Bud, and his second wife, Elsie; taken in 1951.


The next picture is of me, Dave and Pat; taken in 2009



The photo below is of Norma with her brother James David Hallmark. It was taken during 2004. Her nephew Steve Hallmark had brought his father to see Norma. It was their final good bye.

The photo below is of Norma with her brother Ronald Grow Hallmark. It was taken during 2003. Her niece Tracy Felt had brought her father to see Norma. It was their final good bye.

This was Norma's favorite photo of her sons. David Lester Hawkins, age 8, Eli Kit Hawkins, age 1, and Keith Jan Hawkins, age 6.

This is Les with his 5 year old daughter, Patricia Lee Hawkins Mercado, about 1937.
This is a photo of Norma and her father and brothers. From left to right, James David, Norma Dorine, Ivy Aubra, John Ivy, and Ronald Grow Hallmark.



This was the home in Orem located at 1353 South 800 East, where Les and Norma raised their family, taken in 1948.
