Grover Samuel Hawthorne
Richland, MS
Grover Samuel “Sammy” Hawthorne, 87, went home to be with the Lord Friday morning November 4, 2011 at 12:05 am. Visitation is 5 – 8 pm Sunday, November 6, 2011 at Ott & Lee Funeral Home in Richland, MS and 10 am Monday, November 7, 2011 at First Baptist Church, Richland, MS. Funeral Services are 11 am Monday, at First Baptist Church, Richland with burial to follow in Glenwood Memorial Park, Richland, MS.
A lifelong resident of Rankin County, MS, Sammy was born on October 8, 1924 to the late Charles Allen and Emma Liza Webb Hawthorne. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was a master plumber for over 40 years and retired with the City of Richland in 1989. He was a Master Mason and a member of Plain Lodge #622; and a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Richland where he was a Deacon. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and nothing made him happier than being with his family. His only wish was to live longer in order to lead someone else to the Lord. He loved to hunt, fish, and sing, but one of his greatest pleasures was playing his harmonicas for his church.
