Condolences Video Memory Play Video
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 before enrolling at Brigham Young University. There she served as president of her social unit, Tokalon, and graduated with a business degree. Later she served as an executive officer on the BYU Alumni Board.
Anne married Hugh W. Pinnock on October 13, 1958 in the LDS Salt Lake Temple. During their early years of marriage Anne taught at Olympus Junior 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 Europe North area presidency residing in England 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 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 long hair sheep, peacocks, chickens, goats, dogs and fish.
Her legacy is encompassed in her nickname: "Action Anne". Though battling Parkinson's disease for 33 years, she wasn't happy if she wasn't serving others. Her example of love, service, faith 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 15 years.
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 all her caregivers provided by Sunrise Assisted Living, Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators and Hospice for their tender and loving care.
Funeral service and viewing will be held at the LDS Chapel (5165 Highland Drive, Holladay, UT., 84117). Funeral service will be Saturday April 11, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. There will be a viewing Friday April 10th from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday from 9-10:30 a.m. Interment will be held at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park (3401 Highland Drive).
In lieu of flowers you are invited to make a donation to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple Patrons Fund,
