Dora Dee Hammock

Dora Dee Hammock, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at the age of 75 in Yorktown, Virginia. Born March 18, 1949, Dora was the daughter of the late Jerry Bain and Ethel Denson Bain.

Dora was an individual with a zest for life.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, James L. Hammock, Sr. and her daughter Michelle Deskins. 

She leaves behind her three sons, Jerry Hammock, James L. (Charlotte) Hammock, Jr., and Tommy E. (Heather) Hammock. Dora's legacy continues through her grandchildren: Kaleigh, Connor, Kiefer, Nathan, Chris, and Megan (Zackary) Rivera. As a great-grandmother, she found joy in Freyja and Quinn Boebert, who were undoubtedly cherished by her.
