September 8, 1937 - March 13, 2013
I would like to share the story of my Mother’s wonderful 75 and 1/2 year life. Nancy Loy Hammerstad was born on an late Summer evening at 11:15 in Yakima on September the eighth, of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. Mom came bursting into the world at 6 lbs. 13 oz. born to Beatrice E. and Lloyd H. Hammerstad. She grew up in the luscious, fertile Yakima Valley.
