Mrs. Hanks was born to the late Roy and Lois Farrow in Cherokee County, AL. Willie enjoyed tending to her flower beds, sewing, cooking, and working in her yard. When she wasn't busy, you could always bet she was talking on the phone to some of her friends or closest family! Her grand and great grandchildren were her ultimate joy. 

She is preceded in death by her late husband, MD Hanks; granddaughter, Kimberly Parker; brothers, Roy, Jr., Tommy, and Bob Farrow; sisters, Ann and Peggy. 

The family will be accepting flowers, which can be conveniently purchased on our online store, or at any local florist.
