Victoria Rose Hammen

Little Chute - Victoria R. "Vicki" Hammen, age 72, of Little Chute, passed away peacefully with her loving husband at her side on Friday, January 4, 2019. She was born on December 7, 1946, daughter of the late Robert and Mildred (Pennings) Jansen. On June 14, 1969, Vicki married the love of her life, her one true love and her best friend, Bruce Hammen. Together they have celebrated 49 years of marriage.

After graduating from St. John High School, Vicki worked at the Bank of Little Chute, Reynebeau Clothing and finished her career with the Outagamie-Waupaca Library Systems (O.W.L.S.). She enjoyed traveling, music (especially oldies), dancing and was an avid reader. She was also a lifelong member of St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church in Little Chute.

Vicki had a smile that could light up a whole room. She was extremely positive, always looking for the best in situations. Vicki was always having a good time and making everyone's lives around her better. Her accomplishment that made her the most proud was her family. She absolutely adored her children and grandchildren. They brought her an immeasurable amount of joy.

Vicki is survived by her husband, Bruce Hammen; children: Adam (Laura) Hammen, Phillip (Jenna) Hammen and Leah (Dylan) Hilbert; grandchildren: Ella, Mason, Samuel, Saryn, Ashton and Jameson; siblings: Dennis (Judi) Jansen, Mary (Ron) Vosters, Carol (Kerry) Seiltz and Lori (Kevin) Kons; brothers and sisters-in-law: Edward (Ellen) Hammen, Linda (Lyle) Hansen, Lois (Tom) Ciske, Mark Hammen and Nick (Deb) Hammen; many nieces, nephews, Godchildren, other relatives and many friends.

Vicki was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Mildred; father and mother-in-law: Ambrose and Lucielle Hammen; and a sister-in-law, Imelda Hammen.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 10, 2019, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, 323 S. Pine Street, Little Chute, with Fr. Ron Belitz officiating.

Bruce & family,
You and your family are in my prayers at the loss of Vicki. I never met her, but she was obviously a sweetheart married to a good man! So good to know she was a woman of faith and is with her Lord & Savior.
Sincerely, Mary Resch

I send my condolences to Bruce and the family. This comes as a bit of a shock, as I haven't seen Vicki for many years. We worked together for about 12 years at the Outagamie Waupaca Library System, from 1995 until she retired. Vicki was wonderful to work with and we shared many laughs. May God ease your sorrow.

Bruce, and family,

Jerry & I want to send our deepest sympathy in the loss of Vicki. She was such a beautiful lady. I still see her walking around the track at the Y. It is very hard to give a loved one back to the Lord. Let us help each to see the loving God she now is living with.
May He bless you and give you love and peace as you give Vicki back to her creator.

Bruce and family: I was saddened to learn of the passing of your wonderful wife and mother. I have fond memories of her from the early 90's. One in particular was when Bruce and Vicki hosted a xmas party for Bruce's unit social workers. We played the game Taboo and Vickie and I dominated. !!! It was so fun! Peace to all of you as you adjust to life without your wonderful mother and wife!! Beth and Mike Reimer
