Obituary of Georgina Hammond

Peacefully, surrounded by her family, at Forest Heights Long-Term Care Centre, Kitchener, on Monday, December 23, 2013 at the age of 94. Georgina was formerly of Atwood, Ontario. Predeceased by her beloved husband, Vernon Elmer Hammond in 1998 and son, Paul H. Hammond. Loving mother of Garry V. Hammond, W. Robert Hammond and his wife Judy (nee Pearson), and Thomas A. Hammond. Dearly loved grandma of Sarah Eckert (Rob), Jodi Hammond, James Hammond, Joshua Hammond (Katie), and Zachary Hammond. Great-grandma of Dylan Eckert. Dear sister of Beatrice Yungblut. Predeceased by her parents, Simon and Anna Catherine (Krantz) Hammer; siblings, Gordon Hammer, Gladys Neeb, Lorna Neeb, Milton Hammer, Elsie Stewart, Percy Hammer, Herbert Hammer; and parents-in-law, Harold and Edna (Hiles) Hammond. Growing up, Georgina, fondly known as Jean, was involved in numerous activities within her community, such as being a member of the Rebekahs and a 4-H Leader. As an adult, Jean was a member of the Presbyterian Women's Institute. Her many passions included: curling (both playing and watching); quilting; dancing and singing; travelling, playing cards with friends, along with being a talented artist and an amazing seamstress! Jean was a phenomenal cook, making family favorites of macaroni and cheese and her famous peach pancakes. She had a strong passion for fashion, right up until her 94th year, always ensuring her jewelry matched her outfits, and her hair was always perfectly done. Jean's love for spending time with her family will be missed the most, along with her famous sayings, such as "Holy Doodle!".
