Elizabeth "Liz" Ann Hammock

Elizabeth Ann Hammock passed away suddenly on July 31st, 2012, at the very young age of 36. Elizabeth was born on July 16, 1976, in Smithtown, NY, to William and Linda Hammock. A hole in her heart was discovered when she was only 9 months old and the medical issues she endured during her life were more than any young person should have to face.

She is survived by her life partner of 11 years Bingle Brown; her parents; a brother, Michael, of Richardson, Texas; and 3 sisters Erica (Gabriel Tyree) of San Diego, California; Monica (Edwin Castillo) of Washington D.C.; and Michele Harrison of Scottsville, Virginia; and nieces and nephews-Rocio, Max, Claudia and Gabriel, Jr. Elizabeth graduated from Plano East Senior High School in Plano, Texas, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
