Grace M. Hamm

Grace M. Hamm, 86, of Coopersburg, passed away on Monday, February 17, 2025, at Sacred Heart Senior Living, surrounded by her family.

Born on June 23, 1938, in Quakertown, she was the daughter of the late Norman E. and Mary (Klotz) Kramer.

Following her formal education, she began work as a Shirt-Presser in Quakertown, then continued her work in Emmaus. For the remaining years of her work, she served as the Office Manager at Hamm Bros. Concrete, Inc., where staff affectionately referred to her as “Mama.”

Outside of work, Grace found joy in crocheting, knitting, gardening, baking (there was always a baked good in the house), bingo, and jigsaw puzzles. She especially loved playing pool and pinochle. 

She was a long-time member of the former St. John’s United Church of Christ in Coopersburg.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: Russell A. Hamm, Sr., who passed away on October 30, 2004; and brothers: Norman E. Kramer, Jr. and Raymond Kramer.

Grace will be lovingly remembered by her sons: David J. Hamm, Sr. (Carol), Russell A. Hamm, Jr. (Doris), and Richard N. Hamm; daughters: Sharon D. Hamm (Angel) and Sandra M. Kooker (Scott); thirteen grandchildren; and twenty great-grandchildren.

A viewing will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Monday, February 24, 2025, from 6:00 until 8:00pm. A second viewing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, 2025, from 10:00am until the time of the funeral service—in the funeral home—at 11:00am.

Interment will follow in Pleasant Hill Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the Grace’s family requests donations be made, in her memory, to Family Pillars Hospice, 3910 Adler Place, Suite 130, Bethlehem, PA 18017
