Beverly Ann (Strzesinski) Hammond was born on September 5, 1946 in Monroe, Michigan.  She was the second child of Dorothy (Heiden) and Theodore Strzesinski, Sr. A 1964 graduate of Ida High School, she worked at General Motors in Adrian, Michigan.

On April 19, 1969, she married Lawrence Dale "Larry" Hammond at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Ida, Michigan. They had two sons.

On January 18, 2023, Beverly died in Walton-Destin Hospital in Ft Walton Beach Florida at the age of 76. She is buried at Marble Park Cemetery in Milan, Michigan.

Theodore Strzesinski, Sr. had two wives named Dorothy Heiden. His first wife was Dorothy Heiden, daughter of Heinrich Heiden. After she died in 1967, he married Dorothy (Spohr) Heiden, the widow of Henry Wm Heiden.

Beverly married Larry Hamond (2/6/42) on April 19, 1969 at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Ida. Their attendants were Sandy Rod, Maryann Strzesinski, Judy Mclish, Nancy Hess, Sheila Frank, Stan Hatter, Ted Strzesinski, Tom Powers, John Siefer, and Tom Strzesinski.

Their reception was at the Ida Fire Hall. It turned out to be a nice day. Bev was gorgeous in a white, A-line dress with a train that was attached at the neckline with lace on the sleeves. Her bridesmaids were in empire waist dresses, each a different color. I remember this wedding too, Bev was radiant and Larry looked a little nervous, but it was a swell reception, with lots of food and drink. A typical date for Larry & Bev was going to the drive-in movies.

One of Bev’s memories was when she was a little child, going to stay at Uncle Norm & Aunt Esther’s farm. She had fun gathering the eggs and riding on the wagon filled with wheat and playing in the hay loft. When they were kids, they lived above Uncle Bob and Aunt Tillies bar in Ida, then they moved to a remodeled schoolhouse on Trost Rd in the country near Ida. After Bev and Larry married they lived in Howell, then Charlotte, then way out to Woodbridge, VA, and now they are back here in Howell at 3550 Byron Rd., Howell, Ml.
