ESSEX / FRANKLIN - Frances June Hammond, age 90, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, at the McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester with her loving friends by her side.
Frances was born on June 26, 1933, in Franklin to Maurice and Pearl (Leadrack) Hammond.
Frances attended elementary school at the Hammond School House in Franklin, VT. She graduated from Enosburg High School in 1951 and received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Muskingum University.
After college she taught Physical Education in several schools located in Vermont and out of state. Frances retired from teaching to run the family farm in Franklin, VT after the death of her parents.
Frances was a beloved individual known for her passion of all kinds of fun activities. She enjoyed skiing, golf, cribbage, bridge and card games. She enjoyed going out to eat whenever she could with family and many special friends. Frances was a member of the Enosburg Falls Country Club for years.
She divided her time between the summers in Vermont at her camp on Lake Carmi in Franklin, Vermont and the warm winters in Bradenton, Florida. She was always engaging in her favorite activities with friends and family.
Her charming personality and kindness drew many to her, and the countless memories shared with friends and loved ones will forever be treasured. Frances was respected for her dedication to her profession but also cherished for the joy and laughter she brought to all during gatherings.
She was preceded in death by her parents Maurice and Pearl Hammond, and sister Linda Hammond. She leaves family, friends, and everlasting friendships behind.
Following Frances' wishes, friends and family are invited to a graveside service on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at 11:00 AM at the East Franklin Cemetery with a luncheon to follow at The Phoenix Manor in Berkshire VT.
