A long life is over for 98-year-old Carroll "Kelly" Hawkinson with his passing on Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010, at his farm home in the town of Dunn.
Carroll Stanley Hawkinson was born May 18, 1912, in the home where he lived his entire life. His late parents were Alfred M. Hawkinson and Emma A. (Lewis) Hawkinson.
He attended Lakeside School and graduated from Stoughton High School in 1931 and was a lifelong member of First Lutheran Church in Stoughton.
On July 20, 1941, Kelly married the former Lorraine Lee of Stoughton and on that date this year, the couple celebrated their 69th anniversary. They have two children, Dennis and Donna.
For many years Kelly maintained a dairy/tobacco farm and also worked for almost 30 years for the Stoughton Highway Trailer Company. An avid baseball player, Kelly played at various times with the Home Talent League teams of Stoughton, Oregon and McFarland. A top-notch pitcher, he was invited by the noted Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Phillies to join the farm team with possible team play. Farm responsibilities and parental objection prevented him from accepting.
Following baseball, Kelly took up the game of golf, just giving it up a few years ago. Kelly enjoyed camping in the state parks, playing cards with friends and following his teams, the Brewers, Packers and UW teams.
Survivors include his wife Lorraine; a son, Dennis of Cambridge, Ill.;a daughter, Donna of West Palm Beach, Fla; three granddaughters, Carrie (Andy) Blasi of Parkland, Fla., Erica (Frank) Alletto of Western Springs, Ill. and Lauren Ross of New York City, N.Y.; and four great grandchildren, Michael, Alexander, Samuel and Emma; and his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Ruby and Myron Hauge of Stoughton and Shirley and Al Richardson of Denver, Colo.
