Obituary for ESTHER K. CREEK HAWKINS
Esther Katherine Creek Hawkins, 93, a longtime resident of Calvert County, was called to eternal rest on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at the Inns of Evergreen, Lusby, Maryland. The youngest of eight children, she was born on January 4, 1920 to the late William Creek and Rachael Maynard Creek. Esther (Aunt Sister or Aunt Esther as she was affectionately known to her family) received her education at the little school on the hill which was known as Friendship Elementary School. She worked for many years as an apartment complex keeper and domestic worker throughout the local areas. She was united in holy matrimony to the late Frederick Hawkins, Sr. of Calvert County. Aunt Sister had no children of her own, but she claimed to have raised all of her nieces and nephews. Therefore, we all were her children. Esther attended Carter’s United Methodist Church in Friendship, MD until her health prevented her from doing so. She was a member of the Usher Board, Love Ye One Another Chorus, and the U.M. Women. Her favorite song was “I’m Happy with Jesus Alone”. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. She loved dressing up and getting ready for their affairs. Her favorite color was red and her pass times were selling Avon, working in the yard, and cleaning her car. She had the shiniest car in Calvert County. She loved cheering at the Owings Eagles baseball games for her brother Preston and her nephews. Esther was preceded in death by her three brothers, Preston, Nicolas, and Earl Creek; four sisters, Edna Hawkins, Anita Freeland, Georgetta Chew, and Ida Creek; 7 nieces & 10 nephews. Esther Katherine Creek Hawkins leaves to cherish fond memories, eleven nephews, fifteen nieces; and a host of great-nieces, great-nephews, relatives and friends.
