Mary "Lena" Magdelene Hawkins Berry, 98, walked into the open arms of "my sweet Lord" on April 27, 2022 to live happily for eternity. She was born August 30, 1923 in Crown City, Ohio and lived in the Huntington area all her life. She is now re-united with her husband Lewis Adkins Berry. Also proceeding her in death was son Randy Lou Berry, mother Icie Mae Graham Hawkins, father Alex Jackson Hawkins, brother Harold Franklin "Hawkshaw" Hawkins, sister Betty Hawkins Lawhorn and her beloved dog Lulu. She is survived by her daughter Vickie Marple and husband Grant, daughter-in-law Cristi Berry, grandchildren Justin Phillips, Hannah Berry, Jackson (Chantelle) Berry, and her sister Leona Hawkins Davis. She also says goodbye to nieces Pam (Mike) Gates, Cheryl (Dan) McCallister, Tina Anderson (Randy), Rita Lawhorn, Robin (Richard) Barnett and nephews Jeff (Judy) Davis, Donnie Hawkins, Harold "Hawkshaw" Hawkins, Jr., and Rodney (Elaine) Berry all of whom she loved very much. Special goodbyes to Shawn and Cary Dixon and family who have been a special love of Mary for many years and will remain an important part of her family. In addition to being a faithful wife, homemaker, and loving mother, Mary had an extensive work career ending in her 1989 retirement from Marshall University on her 65th birthday where she worked security at the dormitory front desk and made many friends with the students she encountered. She also worked at McCrory's Dime store, Owens, and the Huntington Store as a salesclerk. She simply loved people and they loved her back. We say goodbye to a great woman knowing that we will soon be back with her and once again embraced by her warmth and love. Reservations will be required to join her so make certain you have yours arranged in advance. She would be disappointed to miss seeing you again. Funeral services will be conducted 2:00 pm Saturday, April 30, 2022, at Chapman's Mortuary with Pastor Matt Shamblin officiating. Entombment will be in White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Barboursville. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 pm Friday, April 29, 2022, at the funeral home.
