Mary Alice (Andrews) Hampton, 89 years young-although she was already our angel here on earth-gained her heavenly wings on December 10, 2022 at Ben Hur Health & Rehab.

She was born on June 8, 1933 to Lonnie Ham and Fannie (Andrews) Welliver but she was raised by her grandparents.

Mary graduated from Horace Mann School and went for a few years to the Lafayette School of Nursing before marrying Richard Dale Hampton on October 11, 1952.  They were married for 52 years when he passed on March 19, 2010.

She was a member of Whitesville Christian Church and was baptized there. She worked at Dillman's Department Store before becoming an Avon dealer for 40 years. Making cakes of all kinds made her happy.  She never knew a stranger and was sweet to everyone she met.

She enjoyed going to her grandchildren and great grandchildren's sporting and school events.

She is survived by her children, Dale (Dawn), Pam Perry, Carl (Jill), Dick (Susan) and one stepson, David (Donna) Fraker. She was blessed with 11 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 20 great great grandchildren along with several nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death is her husband, Richard, son, Mark Hampton, one grandson, Jarrod Eskew, and one granddaughter, one brother, Bill Andrews and two sisters, Pat (Welliver) Hultz and Dee (Welliver) Manion.

Funeral services are scheduled for 2:00 PM Friday, December 16th at Hunt & Son Funeral Home with Pastor Michael Whitacre officiating.  Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery on Grant Avenue.  Visitation will begin at noon on Friday.
