Eleanor Hammond, a longtime St. Petersburg resident, passed away on July 11. Miss Hammond was born in Asheboro, N.C. in 1916. She served in the WACs during the Second World War and rose to the rank of captain. She moved to St. Petersburg in 1947 and, with her good friend, Gertrude Bollinger, ran her own business for a number of years. She then joined the St. Petersburg Public Library System where she worked until her retirement. For several years she was in charge of the Circulation Department at the Library. She was interested in the arts and, both before and after her retirement, attended plays and concerts with her friends. She was a longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan and always organized her schedule around the games carried on TV. At her retirement home she used her library skills to help reorganize the library. She is survived by three nieces and five nephews who will hold a memorial service and reception in her honor at Westminster Palms Retirement Home formerly Palm Shores on Saturday, July 26, at 3:00pm. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the ST. Petersburg Public Library System, attention Administration, 280 Fifth Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701 or to the charity of your choice.
