She met the love of her life, Jimmy Hawkings, and they were married July 24, 1952. They began their 61 years of marriage in Greenville, Texas. With Jimmy being an active serviceman of the U.S. Air Force, the next 20-plus years were spent in Louisiana, Florida, Montana, Newfoundland, California and Hawaii. Upon returning from Hawaii, Tommie Sue began her 29 years career at the Sherman K-Mart and Super K-Mart where she ultimately retired in 2003. While working at K-Mart, she took time each year to load up the grandchildren and take them to see the sights in the family RV, from Missouri to Las Vegas and everywhere in between. After retirement, she was able to devote her time to some of her passions, such as working in the yard, loving on grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cooking, cheering on the Texas Rangers almost every game, and getting her hair done so she could go sit next to Jimmy at Choctaw - hoping to hit it big! She is survived by her husband; daughter, Judy Sue Hawkins; son, James Dale Hawkins; brother, Kenneth Fields; grandchildren - Lucas (Melissa) Hawkins, James Garcia and Jessica Garcia; great-grandchildren - Briana, Deuce, Victoria, Malyssa Sue, and Jax; and several nieces and nephews.
