Anne Hawkins Pinnock was born on December 21, 1931 to William Brazee Hawkins and Nora Alice McIntyre in Stockton, California.

She spent her youth in the San Fernando Valley and North Hollywood California until she enrolled at BYU.

There, she served as president of ToKalon and graduated with a business degree. Later, she served on the BYU Alumni Board, where she was an Executive officer.

Anne married Hugh W. Pinnock on October 13, 1958.

During their early years of marriage, Anne taught typing at Olympus Jr. High School, where Hugh had once attended.

Later, while Hugh worked in the insurance business, Anne served as president of the Insurance Wives Auxiliary and always made the annual Company Christmas open houses the highlight of the year.

Anne was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she loved to serve.

During her life she led in many ways; both individually and at her husband's side. Together, they served as Mission President and wife over the Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Mission from 1973 to 1976.

She also supported Hugh in his service as a General Authority, including in the England area presidency for three years.

A highlight in their church service was being involved in the reenactment of the handcart trek across the United States in 1997.

Her children and grandchildren were the center of her life. We have fond memories of her waking us up with fresh made orange juice before school.

She loved to work puzzles with her kids and grandchildren; and was an avid Scrabble player, many times creating words that may someday appear in Webster's. She enjoyed going on springtime walks with her children and grandchildren to discover new flowers. She loved animals and raised (and was many times butted by) Long Hair sheep, peacocks, chickens, goats, dogs, and fish.

Her legacy is encompassed in her nickname: "Action Anne." Though battling Parkinson's disease for thirty-three years, she wasn't happy if she wasn't serving others. Her example of service, love, and obedience will always be remembered by her family and all who knew her. Hugh "The General" once again has his love and most cherished supporter by his side. A great reunion after fifteen years.

We will miss you, our dear mother and friend.

Anne is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Hugh, and survived by sisters, Alice Lamb and Norine Frandsen; brothers, William and Robert Hawkins; children, Lawrence (Tamara), Annette Wells (David), Marcus (Jennie), Jonathan (Laura), Nathan (Alison), and Andrea Ferguson (Robert); twenty-six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

Our family would like to give special thanks to her care providers from DMBA and Sunrise Assisted Living for their tender and loving care.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 11, 2015 in the Big Cottonwood Second Ward Chapel, 5165 South Highland Drive. There will be a viewing held at the church on Friday, April 10, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and prior to the services on Saturday from 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Interment will be held in the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 3401 South Highland Drive (1495 East).
