We were in Idaho Falls from the early 1950s until the late 1960s. Dancing and socializing at the site-related gatherings was always a special pleasure there. In the 1980s, after our retirement here and after Betty and Ralph Keller moved to Green Valley from Idaho Falls, we met Juanita and Bill again. They surely enjoyed their comfortable home and the pleasant weather and golfing here. Always hospitable, of course, the Hawkins were comfortable companions. You have our sincere condolences. Cree Bradbury [creeaz@peoplepc.com] Jaunita was such a wonderful person and those at Desert Hills Golf Club who knew her and played bridge and golf with her, will miss her. Am glad she was able to be with her family at the end and have your loving care. We all enjoyed her picture, as she was such a pretty lady. Have to recall the day when her dear Bill went missing, and they searched for a day before finding him. He was a sweet person. we will always have good memories of Juanita. Sincerely, Cree Bradbury and Glen Benson Green Valley, Arizona Don & Arylene Wiemann [wiemanns@gmail.com] We would like to send our condolences to the family of Juanita Hawkins. We had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Juanita shortly before she left Green Valley last spring, when we were looking for a dining room set. We did purchase this from her, along with a number of other pieces of furniture. During this time, we met with her several times and enjoyed some wonderful conversations with her. She was a sweet, charming lady and relayed many stories of her younger days, and the memories of her husband and children. We remember her fondly and were saddened to hear of her passing. Our prayers and sympathy to her family. Don and Arylene Wiemann Please note our email address: wiemanns@gmail.com
