Lois Garnette Gallanger (Lois Hammond), 82, passed away peacefully at home in Chehalis Feb. 3, 2018. She was born Oct. 31, 1935, to Gerald Jay Hammond and Mary Avis Felton Hammond in Creston, Wash.
Lois will live forever through the memories of her family, including her husband, Noel Gallanger of Chehalis; children, Kathi Pugh (Kevin) of Shoreline, John Jackson (Cherie) of Friday Harbor, Richard Jackson (Jill) of Everett, Cary Gallanger (Robin) of Everett and Andrea Murat (Greg) of Lake Stevens. She is also survived by siblings, Helaine Gallanger of Napavine, Bruce Hammond (Carol) of Phoenix, Ruth Cox (Dave) of Seattle and Lou Ann Gilbert (Chuck) of Seattle; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was a loving Grandma “Nana” to 10 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Geraldine, Liz, Eunice, Jerome and Herb; and son, Paul.
Lois was as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. She was devoted to and loved her family and friends. If you didn’t really want to know the answer then don’t ask. Lois’s favorite pastimes were watching the Seahawks and golf, spending time at the river and being with family. She will be missed by all.
A service will be held Saturday, March 3, 2018, at 11 a.m., at Mountain View Baptist Church, 1201 Belmont Ave., Centralia, WA 98531. Lunch will be served after.
Her family requests that in lieu of flowers, remembrances be made to the American Cancer Society.
