Lillian Frances Wawrzyniec, 73, of Elkton, VA, passed away on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Sentara RMH, in Harrisonburg, VA. She was born on March 8, 1953, in Rockingham, VA, to the late Owen Ashby Hammer and Evelyn Gertrude Hammer.

Lillian was a devoted and loving mother whose life was centered around her two boys, who meant everything to her. She poured her heart into raising them, giving all of her time, love, and care to ensure they were supported and cherished every day. Her commitment to her children was unwavering, and her love for them was the guiding force of her life.

She found great comfort in her faith and was a dedicated member of Faith, Hope, and Love Fellowship and Shenandoah Assembly of God, where she enjoyed worship and fellowship. Lillian also deeply loved her family and treasured the time she spent with them. In quiet moments, she found happiness in listening to music, which brought her true joy and peace.

Lillian will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her strong faith, and the deep, unconditional love she gave so freely to her children and those closest to her.

Wawrzyniec; her siblings, James Owen Hammer, Mary Ann Beasley, Charles Ray Hammer, Linda Marie Hammer, Leroy Hammer, and Joe Allen Hammer; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, church family, and friends.
