The following obituary was composed by Mrs. Hammer’s family:
Mrs. Patricia Ann Hammer (nee Showkey) died unexpectedly at Abington Hospital on July 4, 2017 in Abington, Pennsylvania at the age of 79.
She was born on April 20, 1938 in Oak Hill West Virginia and was the daughter of the late Clayton Edward Showkey and Gaynell Imogene Boothe. Her late husband Ronald M. Hammer preceded her by almost seven years.
Patricia enjoyed spending time by the ocean and going to bingo. She would often talk of her dreams to get in the car and travel for days on end.
Patricia is survived by her four siblings; Rita (Fred), Gail (Harrold), Judy, and David as well as her five children; Celeste (Robert), Ronald (Danelle), Dorothy (Mark), Gayle and Keith. She was the grandmother of 12 and a great-grandmother of 8.
She lived at home and spent most of her time playing video games with her youngest son Keith and two of her grandsons Damien and Jarred.
Those who were fortunate enough to have known her will miss her wholesome and joyful spirit tremendously.
Patricia’s life celebration will be held at the North Penn VFW Post 676 on 2519 Jenkintown Rd Glenside, PA 19038 from 2pm to 6pm on Friday July 21, 2017.
