Nursing Home. She had served on Pennybyrn'sAdvisory Board for many years.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years,

J. Hyatt Hammond, in December of 2017.

Born to Anita and Preston Burge of Asheboro, N.C.

Bonnie graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago

in Interior Design and went on to do graduate study

in the arts at Sorbonne University, Paris, with classes

at the Louvre.

After their marriage at the American Cathedral of the Holy

Trinity in Paris, wedding reception at Paris's private

Union Interalliée Club, and 3-month honeymoon

in Europe, the Hammonds went on to build a life-long

creative partnership together at J. Hyatt Hammond Associate

Architects, Inc., Architects/Engineers/Planners, first

in Asheboro, then in Greensboro.

As artistically talented as she was beautiful, Bonnie

collaborated with her husband Hyatt, a former N.C. AIA

President and AIA Fellow, on many award-winning

commercial and residential architectural projects

throughout North Carolina, and on their second homes

in Asheville, N.C., Jupiter and Sarasota, Florida.

The Hammonds loved to travel but found time to also

be involved in community affairs in Greensboro, where they

were members of the Sedgefield Country Club. They

attended the First Methodist Church while living in

Asheboro.

Along with her passion for art and antiques, Bonnie loved

to read and was a member of several N.C. Book Clubs.

Bonnie is survived by her sister Brenda Burge de Suze

of Potomac, Maryland; brother Robert A. Burge

of Asheboro, N.C.; and many cousins, nieces and

nephews from the Burge, Cecil and Payne families.

It was Bonnie's desire that memorials be made to:
