Obituary
MOUNT HOREB - Gayle Margaret Hammond, age 50, of Mount Horeb, passed away on Saturday, June 19, 2021, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born on Sept. 29, 1970, in Racine, Wis., the daughter of Robert and Carol (Schinkowitch) Hesse.
Gayle graduated from St. Catherine High School in Racine and Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina. She married Jonathan "Jon” Hammond on Oct. 21, 2000, at St. Rita in Racine, Wis.
Gayle had an infectious laugh and loved to joke around with people. Her joy in life was seeing others around her be happy. She had a love of gardening and being artistic. She took that love and worked at Jada’s Garden where she was able to bring out her creative side. Gayle also worked as an administrative assistant for Mount Horeb Chamber of Commerce and was a project manager for Omnipress.
She enjoyed traveling out west, where her family would ski and snowboard, and spend time at her second home in Fontana. She loved the companionship of her loyal canines, Dafney, Cloey and Alpine. Her greatest joy in life was her family. Her presence will be greatly missed but her spirit will live on.
Gayle is survived by her husband, Jon; son, Matt Hammond; parents, Robert and Carol Hesse; parents-in-law, W.A. and Doris Hammond; sister-in-law, Camela (Mike) Nixon; brother-in-law, John Hollow; nephews, Josh (fiancée, Rachel), Eric, and Luke Hollow and Tucker (Kayla) Thomas; nieces, Rachel (Aaron) Long and Anika Thomas; aunts and uncles, Judy (Tim) Joosse, Ron (Sue) Schinkowitch, Linda (Dave) Pias, Jim (Barb) Hesse, John (Kathy) Hesse; and many extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her sister, Lynn Hollow.

Jon and Matt: There are NO words to express my sadness at Gayle's passing. She was such a fabulous person. I never once saw her in passing, that she didn't stop and say hello. Her laugh is one, I will never forget. Matt.....your mom would do anything for you. Make her proud. Sending prayers for peace and comfort at this very sad time. Love you....Char Smith
