Veronica Hawkins Lovvorn

Veronica Hawkins Lovvorn, 53, of Nashville, Tennessee passed away peacefully the morning of May 9, 2025 in the presence of loved ones. Veronica was born October 20, 1971 in Roanoke, Alabama, the beloved daughter of the late Willie T. Hawkins and the late Frances Pamelia Hawkins. She is survived by a husband and two children, Jason, Connor and Ella Lovvorn, as well as by a brother and sister-in-law, Scott and Karen Cummings, and their children, Andrew (Tacy), Anna Grace, and Abby. Veronica was a kind, loving, and joyous soul to all of her friends and family. She went out of her way to think of others, and her infectious smile and beautiful eyes lit up a room. She met and dazzled her husband in her hometown of Roanoke, Alabama in 1988. They dated for nearly six years and were married for over thirty years. Veronica was the backbone of her immediate family, and her primary goal in life was to raise and love her two children, Connor and Ella. She was and always will be “Moma” to them. Veronica was the biggest fan of Connor’s photography and of Ella’s choir singing, and she loved to go on thrifting adventures with them. Veronica was a talented civil engineer, having graduated from Auburn University’s College of Engineering in 1994. She subsequently worked on wastewater treatment plants at Volkert, Inc. in Mobile, Alabama as well as on airport design at Garver in Nashville, Tennessee. She later worked at Children’s Corner Store in Nashville as a pattern drafter. Veronica enjoyed sewing and was an active sewing blogger and a published pattern designer. She was a fine cook who enjoyed making her mother’s recipes like sausage balls and cheese straws. A lover of Polish pottery and Christmas ornaments, she decorated a beautiful tree each year with her daughter. She also enjoyed flower gardening as well as taking care of her several adopted cats. No cat was ever a stranger, and outdoor strays sometimes became longtime family members because of her cat-whispering abilities. A celebration of life will be held for Veronica in Auburn, Alabama on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at The Hotel at Auburn University & Dixon Conference Center (Oak Room) at 4 p.m. Central. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to ella.lovvorn@gmail.com by June 10. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the March of Dimes at marchofdimes.org (http://marchofdimes.org) or to the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation at netrf.org (https://netrf.org/).
