Edwina Estelle "Pinkie" Hammontree

Edwina Estelle "Pinkie" Hammontree, 91, Gulfport, was welcomed into Heaven Monday morning, April 10, 2017. Pinkie was born February 21, 1926 to William A. and Julia Rudolph Moran. She was a life-long resident of Gulfport and a member of Pass Road Baptist Church. She retired from A&P Grocery, having worked there for thirty years. Her most proud accomplishment was having her three boys. She loved to brag on each of them and let everyone know they are the best sons on Earth. She was an awesome cook and took great joy in having the family over for holiday dinners, enjoying the world's BEST potato salad, with a delicious roast, chicken spaghetti, or many of our favorites. The boys always looked forward to getting their Christmas gifts of her awesome fudge each year. She never met a stranger, loved to talk, and if she didn't know you when you met, you departed as a friend of one of the sweetest ladies you would ever know. She is preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Glen B. Hammontree; her parents, William A. Moran and Julia Rudolph Moran; her four brothers; her three sisters; and her two grandsons, Richard Michael Hammontree and Tim Cumberland. Survivors include her three sons, Glenn W. (Annette) Hammontree, Mike (Sandra) Hammontree, and Richard (Stephanie) Hammontree; ten grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. Visitation for family will be at Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home, 15th Street, Gulfport on Thursday, April 13, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. A graveside service will follow at 10:30 a.m. at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.
