"Aunt Sally" was born near Shawneetown, Illinois, where her parents lived for a while before moving to Jefferson County, Illinois. As a young woman, she taught a "Subscription School." Just before turning twenty-six she married Jasper Newton ("Newt") Hawkins (June 4, 1843 - September 16, 1924) on July 4, 1867. The two lived about a mile from Dix, Illinois.

Sally and Newt would often visit Sally's father, William Divine, by wagon, with chairs in the back of the wagon. Norah, Sally's niece, recalled visiting Newt and Sally for week-long intervals, returning home when Newt and Sally would visit William on Sundays. She also recalled that "Aunt Sally" baked a large tiered cake for a birthday celebration for William Divine, using a tin cup to bake the last little top layer.

In about 1884, Sally and Newt moved overland in covered wagons with seven other families to Kansas, settling in Rice County, near Raymond. Norah visited there for eight weeks in 1905, following a nervous breakdown brought about for unknown reasons. Harritte Threlkeld reports that Sally took such good care of Norah and she was so much improved that she decided to go on to Oklahoma City and marry her fiance, Mr. Heiserman, instead of returning to Illinois. Norah described her as a wonderful woman and one of the best she ever knew.
