After the death of his wife of forty-five years, Helen L. Mawn (1916-1998), formerly of [[Kansas]], Mawn moved in 1989 to St. Petersburg, [[Florida]]. Failing health compelled him to return to Fort Smith in 2000 to be near his daughters, Karney M. More and Joan E. Mawn. He also had a son, John Mawn, Jr., and wife, Sherrill, of Gonzales in Ascension Parish near [[Baton Rouge]] in south [[Louisiana]], three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
