WEST POINT - Ellen Margaret Hansen Hawks passed away peacefully Sunday, April 28, 2002 at home, surrounded by her family. She was born February 7, 1919 in Tremonton Utah to Dortheia Olsen Hansen and Rasmus P. Hansen.

She attended school in the Box Elder area. She later met the love of her life and on December 24, 1938 married Eardley J. Hawks. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple on April 23, 1954.
