Jack Myron Hammons
Jack Myron Hammons, Mayor of the City of Winnsboro, passed from this life on March 5, 2010.
Funeral services were held Monday, March 8, at 2:30 at Temple Baptist Church in Winnsboro under the direction of Gill First National Funeral Home. Private graveside services followed.
Reverends Jason Foster, Bobby Brown, Herman Harris, and Jeff Robinson officiated at the service.
Nephews served as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers were members of the Winnsboro City Council.
Jack Hammons was born on February 14, 1937 and was 73 years of age at the time of his death. He had served as mayor of Winnsboro for the past 12 years after serving eight years on the City Council. Prior to that, he had been a business owner in Winnsboro since 1965.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Bobbie, and by three daughters, Paula, Rhonda, and Sandra, son-in-law Ronnie and grandson Jacob Jones. He also has one surviving sister, Nell Stegall and husband, Benny of Vidalia, La.
Jack leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members, as well as friends in the local business and political communities.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Hilton and Pauline, and also by his brothers, Glenn, Claude, and Garvin.
Jack Hammons was born in Winnfield and moved with his family to Winnsboro when he was ten years old. He discovered early that there was no place like Winnsboro, and his love for his community was apparent throughout the rest of his life.
Jack started his first job delivering the Franklin Sun newspaper at the age of 10, and later worked at Kiper's Grocery and at Scott-Corbett Drug Store in downtown Winnsboro. He met and married the love of his life, Bobbie, and their enduring love was obvious to all who ever knew them during their years of marriage.
With a young family with three daughters to support, Jack made a leap of faith at the age of 28 and went into business for himself and opened a small community grocery store offering credit and delivery services. The relationships forged then with people from all walks of life stayed with Jack and his family throughout his business and political career.
Jack Hammons lived his life with dignity and grace, and those who knew him knew he was the fairest man in the world. He greeted those he met with a smile and a handshake, and treated people the way he would want to be treated.
Jack was a kind, gentle man with a heart that extended far beyond the city he loved.
His many friends and family members have lost a great man, as has the City of Winnsboro, Franklin Parish, and the State of Louisiana.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, all donations be made to the Winnsboro Community Center through a fund at Franklin State Bank in Winnsboro.
