Wilma Catherine Hamm
On Friday, July 30, 2010, at 12:08 a.m., Wilma Catherine (Stone) Hamm passed peacefully
into her next great journey. Surrounded by her family and loved ones, she drew her last
breath and her heart slowly softened. At age 87, she had lived a long and fulfilling life.
Wilma is preceded in death by her loving husband of 67 years, Eugene Warner Hamm; her
eldest daughter, Eugena K. Watson; her sister, Geneva Welch; and two grandsons,
Ronald P. Hamm Jr. and Shawn Michael Hamm. She is survived by her six children, Larry
Hamm, Becky Hamm, Joyce Warner-Stone, Ron Hamm, Stan Hamm, and Les Hamm; 11
grandchildren, Chad Ramsey, Stanley R. Hamm Jr., Eric Ramsey, Ryan Hamm, Brandon
Hamm, Crystal Hamm Cox, Jennifer N. Plummer, Heather Hamm, Travis Hamm, Lani Hamm,
and Jason Hamm; and nine great-grandchildren.
Wilma enjoyed many activities, including cooking, flower gardening, putting up the harvest
from the family garden. She also enjoyed bird watching, reading, traveling, and working
crossword puzzles, but her greatest joys and triumphs were being a loving mother and
friend to her children and family. As a mother, Wilma set strong examples for her sons and
daughters about living life to its fullest. Surviving breast cancer, overcoming hardship, and
sustaining a life-long value based moral compass are just a few examples her children and
family have been honored to witness.
A celebration of Wilma’s full and interesting life will be held at a graveside service at
Roselawn Memorial Park on Monday, Aug. 2, 2010, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Wilma’s
family has requested that donations be made in her honor to The Salvation Army or the
charity of your choice. Please send acknowledgments to J. Warner-Stone, 8523 Stark
Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46216. Fitzpatrick Funeral Home, in West Terre Haute, assisted with
arrangements.
“Mom, we love and miss you – you will have your home in our hearts forever.”
We give this kind and loving woman into Your hands. Please give her comfort and treat her
with the kindness she has earned.
