Virginia Darlene Hamm

Virginia Darlene Hamm, 86, went home to be with her Lord and

Savior on February 14, 2026. After a life so faithfully lived, her earthly

journey ended peacefully as she stepped into eternal healing and

perfect peace.

Funeral is 1:00 p.m. Saturday, February 21, 2026 at Victory Family

Church in Decatur with burial at Oaklawn Cemetery. Family will

receive friends 6-8:00 p.m. Friday at Hawkins Funeral Home in

Decatur.

Born on February 11, 1940, Darlene lived a life rooted in unwavering

faith, fierce love, and steadfast devotion to her family. She was a proud

and devoted mother, a cherished grandmother, and a treasured great-

grandmother. Her daughters were her heart, and her grandchildren

and great-grandchildren were her greatest joy. She loved each of them

deeply and prayed over them daily, covering her family in constant

prayer.

Darlene loved the Lord with all her heart. She was known as a true

prayer warrior—faithful, bold, and unshakable in her trust in God.

When she prayed, she believed. Her faith carried her through life’s

trials and was a guiding light to everyone blessed to know her. She did

not just speak about faith—she lived it.

She found joy in the simple things: people watching with a smile,

hunting for treasures at garage sales, and cruising the aisles at

Walmart just to see what she might find. She had a feisty spirit, a

loving heart, and a presence that made others feel seen and cared for.

Darlene’s legacy is one of faith, family, and fierce love. Though she will

be deeply missed here, her family finds comfort in knowing she is

completely healed, whole, and rejoicing in Heaven. Her prayers, her

laughter, and her love will echo through generations.

She leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory and

carry her love forward.

Daughters, Cindy and husband Jimmy, Vickie Moyers, Pattie Reynolds

and husband Burl, and Kim Hamm; her grandchildren, Jodi, Josey,

Jolene, Jimmie Jo, Cason, Marley, Brandon, Rayne, Ridge, Jayde and Keldyn; 21 great-grandchildren; extended family members and a host

of friends.
