With hearts overflowing with love for our beloved sweetheart, mother, grandma, sister, and friend, we remember the life, and resolve to carry on the legacy, of Frances Janet Bentley Hammond.
Frances was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 26, 1941 to Joseph T. and Kathleen Bench Bentley.
She passed away at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah at the age of 67.
She was consumed with a love for her family and a desire to serve those around her that defined her existence.
Frances met her sweetheart, Dr. Roy A. Hammond, when they were both 14-years old. It was the beginning of a never ending romance and selfless union. They were married on December 18, 1961 in the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City.
In life they were inseparable, forming a partnership that inspired all whose lives they touched. Frances attended Brigham Young University, where she received a degree in Elementary Education.
She had a passion for learning. She taught those around her all her life through her special handwritten notes, her ability to identify the good in every person, her gift for inspiring those she encountered and her keen spiritual insight.
Frances and Roy were a team united in the common purpose of service to their fellow brothers and sisters. Hand in hand, they performed humanitarian service in Mexico; Vietnam; Nepal; Africa; South, Central and North America; and, the Dominican Republic.
They fulfilled a lifelong dream when they served an LDS mission together on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. Frances and Roy developed a deep love for the Hawaiian people and a strong appreciation of their culture.
Frances loved to spend time with her sweetheart and family. To her, life always seemed best while riding with her sweetheart on their Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
She rode hundreds of thousands of miles in some of the most beautiful places in the world. No matter the destination, she always savored the journey. Her life truly was an amazing ride.
Frances' loving family consists of her sweetheart Roy; her two sons Dr. Roy C. (Jennifer) and Dr. Christopher A. (Alison) Hammond; her two daughters Angel (Mark) Webb and Amy (Cannon) Gerstner; and her 13 grandchildren.
Frances, we love you and will continue to make memories with our family. "Thou lift me and I'll lift thee and we'll ascend together."
