It is with sorrow the family
of Preston Earle Hawkins announce his passing on 5 January, 2018 at
the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Born on May 15, 1943 in
Douglas, NB to the late Earle and Ayesha (Hallett)
Hawkins.
Preston grew up in Douglas,
NB on his family’s fruit farm. Preston attended and graduated from UNB
Fredericton with a BBA and furthered his career by obtaining his CMA.
Most of his career was with the provincial Department of Finance. He
loved to golf, especially at Mactaquac Provincial Golf
Course. When not golfing, he could be found on the ice at
the Capital Winter Club curling. Preston enjoyed travelling
and seeing the world, especially by cruise ship. During his early
young family years Preston passed his love of the outdoors along to
his children through camping and water
sports.
Remaining with loving
memories, his wife of 50 years, Sandra (Hallett) Hawkins, his two
children Andrea Child (Steven) of London, ON and Leanne Perrin (Corey)
of Douglas, NB. Grand children Alysha Lynn and Matthew John Earle of
London, ON, Carter Wallace and Spencer Elliott of Douglas, NB, Brother

deepest appreciation for the unwavering support of Dr. Sunita
