“If you knew her at all, you knew her pups were her world. And her passion for animal rescue was just a small part of her amazing spirit. The Asher House held a special place in her heart. In lieu of flowers, we would love donations be made on her behalf,” Starsiak Hawk wrote.

Starsiak Hawk and her mother, Karen Laine, host the HGTV series Good Bones, which launched in March 2016. The series features the two flipping houses in Indianapolis. Hawk made occasional appearances on the show.

Back on March 11, Starsiak Hawk revealed she and Steve are expecting their second child together. They are also parents to son Jack, who was born in August 2018.
