Marlin Hammonds Obituary
September 24, 2025
Marlin Jo Hammonds, 59, of Kingsport, TN, passed away on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, after a long battle with brain cancer.
Marlin was born in Scott County, Virginia, the daughter of the late Betty Jo Hammonds. Faith was always a part of Marlin's life, and she found a spiritual home at Shades of Grace UMC in Kingsport.
Although life brought many challenges, Marlin was known for her kind heart, her love for others, and her testimony of faith. In her last months, she faced homelessness but was embraced with compassion and friendship by the Shades of Grace community. There she found comfort, fellowship, and a place to belong.
A Memorial Service will be held at Shades of Grace UMC, 313 East Sullivan Street, Kingsport, TN on Saturday, October 4th, 10:30am with Pastor Will Shewey officiating. Music will be provided by Emma Marie Hartsock, David Francis, Oscar Harris, Landon Bellamy and the Shades of Grace Choir.
