Dorothy Hammond, born in the historic year of 1941, departed from this life on January 10, 2026. A loving, kind, and caring soul, Dorothy devoted her life to family, her favorite past time being to create porcelain dolls, a hobby reflecting her meticulous attention to detail and creativity.

Dorothy married the love of her life, Merris Hammond, in 1958. Their bond of love was strong, begetting four beautiful children: Deanna, Daryl, Ed, and Melissa Rilley. Her children, her greatest accomplishment, were a reflection of her nurturing nature and boundless love.

Dorothy had a fondness for dauchsans, a pet preference indicative of her playful and spirited nature. As someone always open to share wisdom, her best lessons revolved around the importance of hard work, encouraging her loved ones in the belief that they could accomplish anything with diligence and tenacity.

She leaves behind her husband, Merris, and their children, Deanna Hammond, Daryl Hammond, Ed Hammond, and Melissa Rilley. The impact of her loss is further felt in the hearts of her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a testament to the vastness of the family she and Merris have nurtured together.

Dorothy's legacy is that of a dedicated wife, a nurturing mother, a revered grandmother and great-grandmother, and a trustworthy friend. Her genuine care, affection, and wisdom will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
