Mary Alice (Andrews) Hampton

June 8, 1933 – Dec. 10, 2022

Mary Alice (Andrews) Hampton, 89 years young-although she was already our angel here on earth-gained her heavenly wings on Dec. 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.

She graduated from Horace Mann School and went for a few years to the Lafayette School of Nursing before marrying Richard Dale Hampton on Oct. 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 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.

Survivors include her children, Dale (Dawn), Pam Perry, Carl (Jill), Dick (Susan) and one stepson, David (Donna) Fraker; 11 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; 20 great great grandchildren; along with several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; son, Mark Hampton; one grandson; one granddaughter; one brother, Bill Andrews; and two sisters, Pat (Welliver) Hultz and Dee (Welliver) Manion.

Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16 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. Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.huntandson.com
