She is survived by her sister, Marion Long of Gloster, Louisiana; daughters,

She was preceded in death by her formerhusband of 25 years, David Hawkins, and

Irma was born in Yankton South Dakota on August 13, 1927 to William and Martha 
James. She got her nickname of Mickey from her beloved siblings Billy and 
Marian who were fans of the cartoon character “Mickey Mouse.” The nickname 
stuck and Irma became Mickey to all who knew and loved her. 
Mickey worked as a secretary for the Arkansas State legislature during the 
Clinton administration. She was an avid gardener and reader and was a member of 
the Lamplight Readers Book Club at the Madisonville Public Library. She also 
loved her exercise group at the Mandeville Senior Center. Mickey was a member 
of St. Timothy United Methodist Church.
