HAWTHORN, Edwin
1948 – 2025
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Mr. Edwin Graham Hawthorn of Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the age of 76 years. Edwin was born in Unity, Saskatchewan, where he developed a passion for working on cars and enjoyed curling. His career spanned a variety of fields, including work with CP Rail, logging, pump jack mechanics, and, for 35 years, trucking for a dairy company. At the age of 20, Edwin married his beloved wife, Lenore, and together they raised a wonderful family, welcoming four children into their lives. Their 56-year marriage was a testament to their love and dedication to each other. Edwin was not only a devoted husband but also the greatest grandpa and great grandpa, spoiling his eight grandchildren with love and special trips to the dollar store. Edwin is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lenore; three sons, Andy, Ken (Susanne), and Tim (Reyna) Hawthorn; daughter, Deanna (Darcy) Derksen; grandchildren Kyla, Avery (Brooklyn), Abbey, Adalyn, Harrison, and Aurabella; and great-grandchild, Everly. He was predeceased by his siblings Brian and Jeanette, his parents Jean and Elmer, and his grandson, Adam. Though Edwin is no longer with us, his legacy of love, hard work, and kindness will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be greatly missed but forever cherished in the hearts of his family. A Public Visitation was held one hour prior to the Celebration of Edwins Life. The Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Parkland Funeral Home, 6287 – 67A Street, Red Deer, Alberta.
