RALEIGH, N.C. - Mary Elizabeth Lewis Hawkins, 90, died May 6, 2007, at Rex Rehabilitation and Nursing Center after a lengthy illness.

Mrs. Hawkins was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph "Pete" Hawkins; by four brothers, Norman, Donald, Milford and Ralph Lewis, all of Maryland; and two daughters, Mary Ann Droppleman and Sara Elizabeth Hawkins.
Surviving are a son, Thomas Bernard Hawkins of Raleigh and his friend Jay Sanders; and a daughter, Molly Jean Freeman and husband, Jake Freeman of Raleigh. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Paige Munsey Diaz, Leslie Ann Pless and Patrick J. Hawkins; by two stepgrandchildren, Suson VonLehmden and Marijake Caprell; and four great-grandchildren.
