Nancy (Kerr) Hammond
Avon / Hornell
Nancy (Kerr) Hammond, 62, of 4660 Meadow Circle, passed away Friday (October 28, 2011) at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
Nancy was born and raised in Hornell and graduated from Hornell High School in 1967 and from Alfred State College in 1969. She worked at St. James Mercy Hospital in Hornell and Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester as a medical secretary. She also worked as a deli clerk at the Big M in Avon. During her lifetime, Nancy lived where her husband's career took them, including : Hornell, Hannau Germany, Friendship, Cheektowaga, and Bolivar. She served as treasurer for the Bolival United Methodist Church while living in that community.
Nancy adored her family, and enjoyed family gatherings and outings, especially as "the sisters" with her granddaughter, Mallory. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor, with a generous heart and an indomitable spirit, who had a genuine smile for everyone she met. She faced life with courage, and persevered with an iron will. Nancy loved her animals, and also spent countless hours enjoying the sun and her flowers. She collected Hummel figurines, and shares that love with her granddaughters. She also loved a good bargain, and took great satisfaction in clipping and using every coupon possible. Nancy was a woman of quiet and enduring faith, and found pennies everywhere she went, which she picked up in remembrance of her father.
She was predeceased by her parents, Douglas and Esther Kerr, a brother, Thomas Kerr, and her infant daughter, Malissa.
She is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, Gary. She is the beloved mother of Benjamin (Joy) Hammond of Batavia, and Christine (Richard) Pavone of Macedon and adored grandmother of Mallory Pavone, Tyler Pavone, and Lydia Hammond.
