Kelley D. Hawkins, 61, of Bethel Park, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026, at Jefferson Hospital.
She was born on September 26, 1964, to the late Robert and Marie Pulaski.
Kelley was the loving wife to Blaise Hawkins for 39 years; devoted mother to Kaitlin (Josh) Charles, Levi (Emily) Hawkins, and Benjamin (Marybeth) Hawkins; grandma (memaw) to Blaise, Sawyer, Damien, Justin, Jameson, and Dani. She is also survived by her siblings, Karen (Charles), Kevin (Cathy), Kerry (Michele), Keith (Falette), Kathleen (Ron), Kenneth (Hanna), and Kristofer (Marcie); and many nieces and nephews.
Kelley shared a life of deep love and devotion with her husband, they were truly best friends. She was a perfect mom and the most special grandma. Kelley had a sparkle in her that she shared everywhere she went. She consistently made every room brighter when she walked into it. When you talked with Kelley she made you feel like no one else existed, she cared about every word you said and every feeling you felt and she felt it with you.
Kelley was the person you would call crying and hang up laughing. She made everyone better. She made us all softer and kinder. She made us all shine with her.
Kelley loved crafting, painting, baking and cooking. She loved a good competition and a good prank. She loved letters and cards sent for no reason. They were always beautifully and perfectly handwritten and covered with too many stickers. But one of her favorite things was jumping in the truck and hitting the road with her husband. They were movers together after she raised their children. They saw all 48 states together and she didn't even hate the truck stop showers.
Saying she will be deeply missed is just an understatement. She is deeply needed by those who loved her. Her favorite quote was "It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice" And while nice seems like such a small word for such a huge heart like hers, that's who she was.
