Windy was born February 18, 1988 in Billings, MT to Brad and Maureen Gray Hawk. She was named after her Grandpa Windy Walker and her aunt Marie Draszt. She was the apple of her grandma Mercelline’s eye and could do no wrong.

Later she worked for the Fort Peck Tribes in the Youth Corrections Center, first as a cook and later on as a Corrections Officer. She went to the Police Academy in Artesia, New Mexico. She was also worked for Cultural Resources and housekeeping at the Dialysis Unit in Poplar.
Windy loved watching her beloved Dallas Cowboys, hunting, camping, cruising her vehicles, mudding, cutting wood with her family and laughing with all her many friends and family. She was always taking selfies, including numerous selfies with her baby Chucky. She enjoyed her gummy worms and ice cold Pepsi. More recently, she loved sitting in the living room and watching Hallmark movies with her family. She was always thoughtful of everyone. She had a way of making everyone feel comfortable around her.
