Vyrl Parkman Hammond

Vyrl P. Hammond, our beloved aunt, passed away to be with the Lord on February 5th, 2026, at Wysteria Gardens Rehabilitation Center in Pearl, Mississippi. She was surrounded by her family and friends.

She was the youngest child in a family of seven. Two husbands, Stanley Little and Cecil Hammond, preceded her in death. Parents: Newlyn Hope Parkman and Naomi White Parkman. Siblings Otis Parkman, John Parkman, Claudia Parkman Gates, Jewel Parkman Lewis, Grady Parkman, Clem Parkman, and Annabelle Parkman Lada.

She was a long-time parishioner of Liberty Baptist Church in Flowood, Mississippi. She was employed at Mississippi Valley Gas Company for over 30 years. She loved reading her bible daily. She was a woman of strong faith and was furiously independent her entire life. She dearly loved all her nieces and nephews and was surrounded by neighbors who loved her and watched after her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Heaven is rejoicing with the addition of this angel. We know she will continue to look out over and pray for us as she has done for many years
