I will always remember Martha's great sense of humor. She was our designated driver across England and Scotland in the summer of 1983, because she was the only one of us traveling companions who had the courage to drive on the wrong side of the road. Throughout our studies at the University of London, and carpooling from Jackson to USM in Hattiesburg for our doctoral studies, Martha always had a funny story to tell. She was a kind, eternally young soul. I look forward to seeing you on the...

Dr. Jack, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember many fun evenings with her and your Dad. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you. Jeff Klingfuss

Dr. Jack I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You have my empathy and sympathy. I am a former MC student and your mom was my instructor. We were both surprised to learn we were both from Winona and knew some of the same families. She was a very special lady. Frankye Seals Humphrey

I have many fond memories of Martha Jane from school days, piano lessons as young students in Winona. Later , with Martha & Arnold as parents, some of our children were good friends. Finally Martha's vigil at the VA visiting Arnold, we would see each other there. Please accept our sympathy, our family join us in wishing all of you good memories. Sincerely, Reva & Ellis Hart & Family

Martha Hammond led the Single's Again class at Broadmoor and I so enjoyed her sweet, fun and energetic personality. She will be dearly missed.

Martha was a dear, dear lady. She was my Sunday school teacher at Broadmoor Baptist Church for several years. I shall cherish the memories we made in that Ladies' Class.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your mother, and my friend, Martha Hammond. Martha was a dedicated teacher and a wonderful colleague. I enjoyed my years with her in the English Department. I'll never forget her gold rain boots and your father's delicious pimento cheese that she would bring to share. While a gracious Southern Lady, she knew the fine art of flirting, and would always ask about my husband with, "How's my boyfriend?" I know the many wonderful memories of her well-lived...
