Hardworking Geraldine Rose Hawkins spent years in sales as a cashier and manager in the food and alcohol industry and was known for being very outspoken, spunky and honest. If she had some comment to make, she didn't hesitate to say it.
She loved to play the slot machines at the Grand River Casino; she was generous to her family and strangers. She loved to read, and prayer was a part of her daily life.

She is survived by her brother, Arnold Hawkins; sister, Delores Westover of Kenel; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Her parents, John and Mabel Bear King; two brothers, John Bear King Jr. and Phillip Bear King; and a sister, Shirley Bear King, preceded her in death.
A memorial service for Geraldine was held Friday, Dec. 7, at the Catholic Church of Assumption in Kenel. Father Tony Grossenburg and Fr. Jim Hoerter officiated. Burial was at the Catholic Church of Assumption Cemetery in Kenel under the direction of Oster Funeral Home of Mobridge.
Urn bearers were Branden Martinez, Carlos Martinez, Zach Martinez and Lukas Martinez.
