May 28, 1953 – January 11, 2025
Sandra Joanne (Nelson) Hammer of Listowel passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the Listowel Memorial Hospital in her 71st. year. Born on May 28, 1953, in Newmarket, Ontario.
On November 5, 1971, Sandra married the love of her life, Ron Hammer, and together they built a partnership filled with unwavering support, laughter and love. Their 53 years of marriage were a shining example of a life well-lived together in Listowel.
Sandra is survived by her husband, Ron, her cherished son, Trevor Edward Hammer, and his caring wife, Laura. Sandra was the proud and loving grandmother of Sarah and Nathan Hammer. Her joy multiplied with Nathan’s marriage to Danielle Hammer (Michaud) and the arrival of their infant son, Theodore Edward Hammer, Sandra’s first great-grandchild, whom she had the privilege of meeting just weeks before her passing.
Sandra is also survived by her caring brother, Graham Nelson, his wife Karen and their children, Melissa, Christopher, Lee, and Drew, along with their families. She will also be dearly missed by her sister-in-law Barbara Mehring and husband Jim and children, Lisa, Steven, and Kevin, and their families. Sandra was predeceased by her father, Harold Nelson, and her mother, Ivy Nelson.
A private celebration of Sandra’s life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation, 255 Elizabeth St. E., Listowel ON N4W 2P5 would be appreciated.
