Alma (Drouin) and Buck Hawes
From the obituary:
On March 1, 2025, Alma Hawes was called home to be with her Lord. She lived a life rooted in faith, devoted to Christ, and guided by the teachings of the Holy Bible. Alma was a woman of unwavering belief, whose love for the Lord shone through every aspect of her life. She found joy in prayer, strength in scripture, and peace in the promise of eternal life. She shared her faith through kindness, compassion, and an unyielding trust in God’s plan. She now rests in the arms of her Savior, free from pain, rejoicing in the presence of the Almighty.
Alma Ann Drouin Hawes was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts on April 22, 1939. She married Lloyd C. “Buck” Hawes on March 15, 1958, at Our Lady of the Gulf Church in Port Lavaca, Texas. Buck and Alma have three children, seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

Alma was a very loyal class member. She always had a ready smile and encouragement for everyone. Reunions won’t be the same without her.
On a class questionnaire before our 55th Reunion, Alma stated that she loved school, enjoyed working at Sterling Drugstore and the theatre, and spending Saturday nights at the Sands Motel. “The teachers were great: Mr. Camp was SO fantastic. We were so fortunate!”
