Andrew "Andy" Hamman
Andrew “Andy” Hamman, 84, peacefully passed away in his home in Strasburg, VA on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
Andy was born in Shenandoah County, VA, a son of the late Benjamin Edward and Anna Alberta McDonald Hamman. He was a member of Meadow Mills Church of the Brethren in Middletown, VA. Andy was a servant to God and showed compassion to all. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Andy worked as a serviceman at Miller & Anderson and retired from Spicher’s Appliance in Winchester after many years of service. Over the years, Andy enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, exploring and seeing the beauty of God’s earth in his travels by always taking the “scenic route”, fishing, hunting, mushroom hunting, butchering, riding on the Skyline Drive, reading his Bible daily, doing Sudoku puzzles, watching westerns and sports, tinkering around in his outbuilding, and cooking his family’s favorites: fried chicken, country ham, stuffing, and collard greens.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Mary (Hockman) Hamman; his daughters Judy White, Joyce Orndorff; a grandson Dale Jonathan “DJ” White; his siblings George “Buck” McDonald, Grayson Hamman Sr., Benjamin Hamman, Jill Hamman Hebb, Pansy Hamman Darr.

A funeral service for Mr. Hamman will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, October 12, 2023, at Stover Funeral Home with Rev. Fred Mauck officiating. Burial will follow in Lebanon Church Cemetery.
