Larhea Hawkins Marchant

LaRhea Hawkins Marchant 11/24/1918 ~ 1/13/2010 passed away at age 91. She was the daughter of Oswald T. and Jennie R. Hawkins. She married Evan Harper Marchant August 16, 1946 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. She had a great love for gardening, needle work, genealogy and family history. She resided in Holladay for more than sixty years. Mother considered her greatest accomplishment the rearing of a good family.

LaRhea is preceded in death by her husband, parents, and siblings Dale Hawkins and Gwen Polson. She is survived by her children: Evelyn Mower (Vaughn), Bountiful,UT; Ross (Heidi), Jakarta, Indonesia; Lloyd (Mary Ann), Madison, MO; Keith (Sheryl) Springfield, OR; Grant (Jilleen), Sandy, UT; 31 grandchildren and 43 great grandchildren. She is also survived by sister, Wilma Walgren (Ralph), and sisters-in-law JoAnn Hawkins and Elaine Marchant. Mother was looking forward to being reunited with her husband, Evan.

Mother approached each challenge with determination, grace, and dignity--never wavering in the love and faith she had for the Savior. Her example is part of the legacy she leaves behind.
