Becky Jo Hawkes
Becky Jo Hawkes, 68, of Sun City Center passed away peacefully on October 8. Becky is survived by the sons she loved more than life itself, Scott Hamilton and Stewart Slayton; and her husband, Kirby Hawkes; and his children/grandchildren, whom she loved as her own. She is also survived by brothers, John Lamb and Thomas DePolis.

Becky, daughter of the late Tom and Elaine DePolis, spent most of her life in the Tampa area and attended Chamberlain High School. Becky made a career as a catering director and worked in that capacity over the years for Holiday Inn, Tampa Jai Alai, WCI Communities and Lakewood Ranch.

Becky leaves behind far too many friends to list, though it would be important to her that each knows how much they were loved and treasured. A celebration of Becky’s life will be held when circumstances allow for larger gatherings. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to C.A.R.E. of Ruskin or OneBlood.
