Biography
Lavina E. Hawk devoted herself to nurturing neighborhood spirit and supporting charitable endeavors in the years around the turn of the century. She could often be found organizing sewing circles, delivering care packages, or quietly donating to the local school so children had warm clothes in cold months.
Her patient generosity helped strengthen Grandview's institutions and her warmth remained a blessing long after her passing, as friends gather at Grandview Cemetery to recall her steady, cheerful encouragement. Her life reminds those she loved that steady kindness leaves an enduring light.
