MILLINOCKET and BREWER – Louise M. Pratt Hawkins, 85, went to be with her Lord May 8, 2011, with her loving family by her side. She was born Aug. 27, 1925, in Millinocket, the daughter of Clinton Haines and Mary (Cusack) Haines Dow.
Louise graduated from Stearns High School and attended First Congregational Church, Millinocket. She worked as a hair stylist, was a seamstress and quilter, and was an exceptional homemaker and cook.

Louise was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and was a gentle spirit who was especially kind to all.
Surviving are her daughter, Donna Andrick of Brewer; grandsons, Michael Andrick Jr. and his wife, Valerie, of Bangor and Curt Andrick and his wife, Dawn, of Warren; five great-grandchildren, Anna, Gabe, Camden, Ryan and Nathan; one sister, Anne Soucie; a sister-in-law, Sylvianne Haines, both of Millinocket; a brother-in-law, James Pratt and his wife, Anne, of Robinston; several nieces and nephews.
