Irene May Hawk
May 12, 1930 ~ Aug 26 2016
86 Years
Atglen, Pennsylvania
It is with deep sadness that we say our Mom, Grammie, Little Grammie and sister, Irene May Hawk, age 86, of Atglen, passed away at home on Friday, August 26, 2016. She was the former wife of our dad, George T. Smale of Parkesburg who passed away in 1976 and the wife of the late Theodore R. Hawk of Parkesburg who passed away in 1983. Born in Atglen in 1930, during the Great Depression, she was the daughter of the late John Norman Moore, who passed away in 1962 and the late Elsie Florence Radcliff, who passed away in 1991. Her paternal grandparents were the late Charles E. Moore and Clara A. Findley and her maternal grandparents were John Elwood Radcliff and Lydia Jane Lowe.
Mom was an area resident most of her life. She graduated from the Atglen school in 1946 and from Scott High School in Coatesville in 1948. She was a member of the Penningtonville Presbyterian Church in Atglen at the time and worked at the Parkesburg sewing factory and also the sewing factory in Gap.
She enjoyed reading, cooking, gardening, crossword puzzles, watching Nascar, traveling, geocaching, going to yard sales and flea markets, and traversing the back roads of Lancaster County. In her younger years, she enjoyed ceramics, fishing, family BBQs and always having family gathered around the table at holidays. She especially enjoyed trying new restaurants (as well as the old favorites!) and, for such a petite lady, she could out-eat us all when it came to fried catfish!
Mom is survived by us, her four children: Darlene F. Wertz, Wanda Mae Smale, Kim C. Smale and wife Melonie, and Michael J. Smale and wife Ann; three grandchildren, Melissa A. Price, Marah Mae Murphy, and Robert L. Murphy, Jr. husband of Jennifer Peek Murphy; nine great-grandchildren; two brothers, John Moore, husband of Joan Smith Moore, and Norman "Duke" Moore, husband of Sue Taylor Moore; and one sister Doris, wife of Emory Walton. She was predeceased by a sister, our aunt, Helen "Jane" Morrison, formerly of Atglen who passed away just three days before Mom.
