LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Sunday morning at 6:15 a.m. quietly Gladys Alice Hammack slipped into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Celebrating her life are her children, Donavon (Maureen) Hammack of Fremont, Susan (Mike) Henson of Clearlake, Amy Hammack of Sacramento, Derhonda Gleason-Hammack of Hidden Valley, Dale (Jennifer) Hammack of Clearlake, Tommy (Beth-Anne) Hammack of Placerville, Dona Simpson of Newport, Ore., Ashley Hammock of Santa Clara and Wendy (John) Newsome of Clearlake.
Gladys raised nine children, was grandmother to 17 and great-grandmother to 17 and great-great grandmother to one. She is predeceased in 2002 by her loving husband of 42 years, Paul LeRoy Hammack.
Gladys was born on May 8, 1939, in Bath, New York and moved to California where she met Paul L. Hammack in Concord, Calif. Paul was widowed with six children, two still infants. Gladys took on the responsibility of maintaining the household and sharing in the raising of six children. Paul and Gladys married and together had three children, making a family of nine children.
The act of parenting nine children was not without challenges, but Gladys was there to be the woman of the house. She raised her children the best she could and provided a home that saw all enter adulthood and become productive God-fearing adults, a credit to her and Paul’s love and effort.
Gladys read her bible everyday, prayed about everything and loved the Lord with all of her heart. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her, but her imprint on the lives she helped shape will live on as a testament to her unalterable spirit and love for her family.
A memorial service will be held at Assembly of God Church, 4472 Snook Ave. in Clearlake, on Saturday, Jan. 21, at 3 p.m.
All those who knew Gladys are invited to come and join in the celebration honoring her life, her person and her promotion to Heaven as its newest member of God’s Great Kingdom.
