CARVALHO, CAROL LYNNE HAWKINS
After an eleven month courageous and dignified struggle with an evil brain 
tumor Carol Lynne Hawkins Carvalho peacefully left the surly bonds of earth 
on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 11:05 pm in the arms of her husband at her 
home, Strawberry Oaks. She was born December 27, 1938 at the Touro 
Infirmary in New Orleans Louisiana. Her mother, Alberta Jennie Bodker 
Hawkins [16 Aug 1912 - 11 Oct 2000] was married to William Claiborne 
Hawkins, Sr. [23 May 1911 - 19 Nov 1979]. Her maternal grandparents were 
Albert John Bodker [15 Dec 1889 - 20 Jun 1944] and Sarah Caroline Bendix 
Bodker [01 Jun 1890 - 11 Mar 1974]. The paternal grandparents were John 
Franklin Hawkins [20 May 1872 - 06 Dec 1925] and Mollie Margaret Settoon 
Hawkins [27 Aug 1878 - 08 Jan 1936]. She was a lifelong member of the 
Ponchatoula, LA Presbyterian Church. She was married to Manuel B. Carvalho 
on April 17, 1982 at Creek's Bend, Ponchatoula, Louisiana, her parent's 
home, by Dr. James Anderson. Carol received a BA, Education, from 
Southeastern LA University in 1965. She was a teacher and held a number of 
other positions. From 1974 to 1997 she was employed by Ciba-Geigy Corp. 
(now Syngenta) in St. Gabriel, LA. She started her career with that company 
in the Industrial Relations Dept. as a new hire and insurance coordinator. 
Other positions she held while with the Corp. were Lab Technician, 
Industrial Hygienist and finally Educational Materials Trainer in the 
Safety Department. She met her husband Manny while at work. She retired in 
March 1997 and subsequently moved to Dahlonega with her husband where they 
busied themselves in the continuing project of building their house and 
improving their property. She took up her many hobbies, oil and watercolor 
painting, hand work, crocheting, and gardening, but the one taking up most 
of her time and was her favorite is genealogy. She is survived by her 
husband; daughter Robyn Dean Carter Lewis, son-in-law John William Lewis, 
Jr., grandson John William Lewis, III and granddaughter Tessa Renee Lewis; 
brother and sister-in-law William and Margaret Hawkins and their children 
William Claiborne Hawkins, III and Suzanne Fuqua Hawkins; uncle and aunt 
James Edward Bodker and Audrey Loyce Hoover Bodker and their children Mary 
Bethany Bodker and James Edward Bodker, Jr.; cousins Albert Joseph Bodker 
and Dorothy Ann Bodker Furr. And all of their respective spouses children 
and grandchildren. Funeral services are scheduled for Friday March 22, 
2013, 2PM at the Banister Funeral Home Chapel in Dahlonega, Ga. Interment 
will follow at Strawberry Oaks Cemetery on their property. Pastor Keith 
Ferguson will officiate. The harpist is Mary Raymer. The family will 
receive friends from 6 until 9 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2013 and from 12 
until 2 pm on Friday March 22, 2013 at Banister Funeral Home in Dahlonega, 
Ga. You may wonder why Carol's picture is 30 year's old. It's because 
that's what I see when I look at her and I want you to see it also. Goodbye 
sweetheart. I hope all your genealogy mysteries are now solved. I love you!
