Charles W. (Bill) Hawley, 78, Aurora, Colo., died May 1, 2003, following a long illness. 
Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. MDT Wednesday at Prairie View Cemetery, 
Manville, Wyo., with the Rev. Larry Bartlett presiding. A light lunch will be served after 
the services. A memorial gathering will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Underwood 
Senior Center. Family and friends are invited to gather for lunch, fellowship and to 
share memories. 

 Charles was born April 12, 1925 (Easter Sunday) near Walsenberg, Colo., the eldest 
child of Charles C. and Caroline (Bastian) Hawley. The family moved to a farm north of 
Underwood, where Charles attended country school and then high school in Turtle 
Lake. In 1942, he joined the Navy and served in the South Pacific, returning home 
after the war ended. 

 On June 5, 1947, Charles married Irene Enyart. They farmed in various locations, 
spending eight years south of Baldwin and 20 years south of Goodrich. Following the 
sale of that farm, they moved to Bismarck and then to Denver, where Charles worked 
at construction. They later moved to Port St. Lucie, Fla., where he helped rebuild the 
Club Med and worked at other construction. 

 Charles and Irene retired and eventually moved to Lusk, Wyo. Irene died of a brain 
tumor in 1996, with Charles caring for her at home with the help of family, friends and 
Home Health. They had been married for over 50 years. 

 In September 1997, Charles married his friend and neighbor, Verna Pfister. They later 
built a home in Aurora, Colo., and enjoyed their time together. Charles developed 
Alzheimer's and suffered strokes and a heart attack. Verna cared for him at home as 
long as possible and continued her devoted caretaking when he entered a care 
center, where he passed away. 

 He is survived by a large, loving family including his seven children, Charlotte (Larry) 
Martin, Bismarck, Charles Hawley, Appleton, Wis., Ruth (Robert-deceased) Hecker, 
Aurora, Mark (Beth Hall) Hawley, Montrose, Colo., Steven (Shani) Hawley, Sumner, 
Wash., Raymond (Roxanne) Hawley, Devils Lake, and Linda Hawley, Mandan; four 
stepchildren, Judy (Jon) Van Wagoner, Anaheim, Calif., Jack (Debbie) Pfister, Craig, 
Colo., David (Brenda) Pfister, Thornton, Colo., and Gary (Marian) Pfister, Petersburg, 
Va.; five brothers, Edward Hawley, Longview, Wash., Richard (Sweet P) Hawley, 
Powell, Wyo., Donald (Esther) Hawley, Alder, Mont., James (Sherry) Hawley, 
Menoken, and John (Lorraine) Hawley, Augusta, Ga.; six sisters-in-law, Ione (Enyart) 
Quenzer, Lead, S.D., Pauline Enyart, Mandan, Arlene Arends, Lusk, Wyo., Carol 
(Jack) Lambert and Joann (Allan) Heins, both of Manville, Wyo., and Nila (Bill) Barrett, 
Wheatland, Wyo.; one brother-in-law, Larry Cox, Chadron, Neb.; 28 grandchildren; 19 
great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

 Charles especially enjoyed children (and they enjoyed him) and loved his diverse 
family. All of the grandchildren will be considered honorary pallbearers.
