Gina Noel Hammond

Gina was born on December 11, 1977 in Chicago, IL to Gary and Donna (nee Fixari) Pellegrini. They eventually moved to Moline, IL where Gina spent her childhood years. Gina attended Western Illinois University and moved to the suburbs of Chicago after graduation. Gina had a passion for teaching and has held a plethora of positions in the educational field over the years. Most currently she taught preschool at the Rolling Meadows Park District and facilitated a Kindergarten enrichment class out of her home. Gina absolutely loved teaching, her fellow colleagues and most importantly her students.

Gina had a zest for life and was always up for a good adventure. She cherished all her travels with family and friends but her heart has always been in Maine. Gina embraced being a mother and her two children were her world. She loved her pets and her Great Danes were always by her side. Gina has made many treasured friends over the years and her bright smile, magnetic personality and generous heart will be missed dearly by all that were blessed to know her.

Gina is survived by her children Addison and Logan Hammond as well as her father Gary Pellegrini. She will be missed dearly by her many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Gina will be remembered fondly by all of her cousins.

She was preceded in death by her mother Donna Pellegrini.
