Julianne Tatum Hawkins passed away at her home following a brief illness, surrounded by her family, on Thursday, October 15, 2020, at the age of 89. She was born in Luverne, AL on June 24th, 1931. She was the third of six children born to Walter Lee Tatum and Ruth Zuber. She grew up in Auburn, AL where she attended high school and college, and became a life-long Auburn Football fan. She met her husband Robert L. Hawkins at Auburn University and married in 1950. They honeymooned in New Orleans, LA, which is where they eventually called home and raised their four children. When the children were in school, she returned to college at LSUNO, earning a degree in Elementary Education. She taught in both Public and Private schools for over 20 years, in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. She was preceded in death by her husband and youngest daughter Robin, and now they are together again. She is also preceded in death by her sister, and four brothers. Julianne is survived by her loving children, Julia Leigh Deas (Joel), Jan Allyson Hawkins (Kenny Pirkle), Robert Glen Hawkins (Diane Moore), her sister-in-law, Radie Tatum and many nieces and nephews. If desired, contributions can be made in her honor to either the American Cancer Society or the Foley United Methodist Church. She will be missed dearly every day!
