Wren Hammons passed away on August 29, 2026, in Jackson, Mississippi, at the age of 85.

Wren was born on January 9, 1941, in Mendenhall, MS to Glen and Odell Tullos. She grew up in Braxton, MS and moved to Jackson, MS in 1954. Soon after, she would meet her husband and love of her life, Mr. Lawrence “Penny” Hammons. Together, they would go on to be married 71 years, raising 3 sons and being highly active grandparents to 4 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.

Wren was a wife and a full-time stay-at-home mom. She cherished those roles and excelled in them. Nobody could cook quite like Wren and if you were lucky enough to get the recipe, it wouldn’t turn out quite as good as her version. She loved to host family and long-time friends – whether it was a simple cup of afternoon coffee or a full-blown meal. She adamantly insisted on hosting her family for the Holidays and by “Holiday” she meant THE day and not the day before it or after it. Regardless, the food was hot, consistently delicious and abundant and you always knew to be on time. Wren also enjoyed decorating her house throughout the year with tea sets, carousels and anything that sparkled or glittered.

Wren loved to travel with her husband Penny and they would take their RV to Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. She loved her dog Sugar, which was her fur baby child and would go on to have 4 additional Sugars through the years - and loved every one of them dearly. Wren will be remembered for being a devoted wife, a mother who loved her sons and never gave up on them, and loving her grandchildren as if they were her own.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Penny Hammons; her father, Glen Tullos; her mother, Odell Tullos; her son, Keith Hammons; and her sister, Charlene Tracey. Their memories remained an enduring part of her life and will continue to be held close by all who remember her.

She is survived by her sons, Bobby Hammons (Cindy) of Jackson, MS, and Wally Hammons of Raymond, MS. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Dewayne Hammons (Jennifer) of Brandon, MS; Tanya Long (James) of Brandon, MS; Derek Hammons (Becky) of Flowood, MS and Sheri' Walters of Raymond.

Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren, Eli Passans, Gracie Barr (Beau), Levi Long, Allie Hammons, Bryce Buchanan, Tuff Sistrunk, Ridge Hammons, Lake Hammons, and Hattie Rose Hammons along with her Great Great-Grandchild Owen Reed Passans. Their lives stand as a lasting reflection of the family she loved so deeply.
