Mary Ann Timon Hawk

Mary Ann Timon Hawk, 78, passed away on Dec. 3, 2025, in Ash Grove, following her decline due to Alzheimer’s disease.
She was born on April 2, 1947, in Shreveport, La. From a young age, she had a heart for learning and an unwavering commitment to helping others grow. She devoted more than 40 years to education, touching countless lives through her patient and compassionate teaching. In her later years, she focused on adult education and GED preparation, offering encouragement and opportunity to those working to better their futures.
On June 6, 1980, she married Sam Hawk. Their relationship, like many long marriages, was marked by both love and challenges. They shared 43 years together, and despite the complexities between them, their bond endured. He remained faithfully by her side throughout her illness and at the time of her passing.
She had a deep love for animals and spent many years volunteering with the Humane Society, often bringing home rescued dogs and cats that needed extra care. She and Sam also kept a lively assortment of farm animals over the years—pigs, cows, horses, goats, rabbits, donkeys and more.
She loved her family deeply and was a devoted mother and grandmother.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lou Ann Owens and W.E. Timon, and by her granddaughter, Crystal Nixon.
She is survived by her son, Scott Coburn, and his wife, Traci; her daughter, Marci; her stepdaughter, Christina Conrad, and her husband, Randy; her stepdaughter, Suzanne Drake, and her husband, Warren; her eight grandchildren; as well as 15 great-grandchildren; sister, Paula Yates; and brother, Howard Timon.
She will be laid to rest in Highland Cemetery in Mansfield, La. She spent much of her childhood in Mansfield with her grandparents, and the town always held a special place in her heart. The family will announce memorial service arrangements at a later date.
