Betty Hammons

Betty Ann Hammons, age 76, of Wartburg, TN, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Betty was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She worked as a respiratory therapist throughout her life and devoted herself to raising six children. Her nurturing spirit extended to everyone around her.

Betty actively attended Shady Grove Baptist Church, where she found joy in attending services and engaging in fellowship. In her free time, she enjoyed reading, gardening, cooking, and especially spending quality time with her great-grandchildren, who brought her much joy.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Calvin and Hazel Rich; brothers Alvin and Hubert Rich; sisters Sally Bell, Wanda Watson, and Norma Cross; her first husband, Issac Daugherty; second husband, Clifton Hammons; as well as her grandchild, Tyler Daugherty; and great-grandchildren Alexis Allen and Dalton Daugherty.

She is survived by her devoted companion, George Melhorn; six children: Ikie Daugherty, Chad (Dawn) Daugherty, Van Daugherty, Hazel (Richard) Carroll, Storm Hammons, and Raven Hammons; 18 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. The family will honor Betty’s memory with a traditional funeral service, reflecting on the love she shared and the impact she had on her family and community. May she rest in peace, knowing she is in the arms of her Lord.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Schubert Funeral Home, with the funeral service to follow. A graveside service will be held on Thursday, February 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Armes Chapel Church.
