Helga Hammonds, age 84, of Kevil, passed away on Thursday, March 29, 2018 at Parkview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

 

Mrs. Hammonds will best be remembered as being all about her family.  Helga was regarded as a “selfless survivor” from her experiences surviving the war while growing up in Stuttgart, Germany and being a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother while helping to raise three different families. Her passions were flowers, baking and cooking, swimming, video games, and crafts.  She enjoyed watching Sci-Fi and horror movies, and The Days of our Lives.  She exemplified her love for her family through her passion of knitting and crochet by making clothes for her children and by using Skype to interact with her brother who still lives in Germany.  She spent over 10 years working for Barkley Regional Airport as a parking lot attendant.  She can now rest knowing “Her work here on earth was done.”

 

Mrs. Hammonds is survived by her two daughters, Susan Hines of Kevil and Margarete Dawson of Kevil; her two sons, Thomas Hammonds of Kevil and Fred Hammonds of Columbia, SC; one brother, Helmut Schwartz and wife Gerta of Stuttgart, Germany;  six grandchildren, Angela Hulen, Sabrina Miller, Eric Dawson, Fred Hammonds and Nicole Hammonds; and four great-grandchildren, Jonathan, Cameron, Ella and Zeda.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband of over 50 years, George Hammonds; her parents, Friedich and Frieda Schwartz; and two sons, Charles and Billy Hammonds.

 

Funeral Services will be held at 3:00 pm on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah.  Burial will follow at Brooks Memorial Cemetery.
