Mrs. Todd was born to the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Brooks Hawkins in Washington County. Mrs. Todd was especially gifted in sewing and started her career working in a sewing factory. Over time, she was able to open and successfully operate her own clothing businesses for over 40 years, Todd’s Inc. in Warrenton and The Fashion Gallery in Sandersville. She loved her customers, and most enjoyed helping women choose the perfect dress for their special occasion from prom dresses to wedding gowns. She was known for being able to meet someone and know exactly what color and style of clothing would look best on them.

Mrs. Todd grew-up as a member of the Mineral Springs Baptist Church. During her many years as a resident of Warren County, she was an active member of Friendship Baptist Church. After moving to Sandersville, she was a member of  First Baptist Church of Sandersville. Her faith and church families were incredibly important to her.

Mrs. Todd was predeceased by her loving husband and business partner of 65 years, Mr. William Brooks Todd, Jr. She is survived by her daughter Joyce T. Weigle (Augusta); granddaughter, Patrice W. Johnson, her husband, Aaron, of Augusta; and their two sons, Brooks and Lucas. Additional survivors include siblings Edna Hinton (Thomson), Nora Mae Anderson and her husband, David (Tennille), Ray Hawkins and his wife Celia (Thomson), as well as many nieces and nephews. She was also predeceased by her son-in-law, Philip G. Weigle, as well as 7 brothers and 3 sisters.

Mrs. Todd’s family would especially like to thank the staff and residents of Augusta Gardens Senior Living and Memory Care. She enjoyed making this her home for the past two years.
