Christine Hammer Obituary

Christine Hammer passed away on July 4, 2016 in Puerto Vallarta Mexico after succumbing to liver cancer. She is survived by her parents Jim and Judy Hammer, Malcolm and Katherine Singer, and her siblings, Mark James Hammer, Paul Crane and Cathryn Singer Crane, Scott Singer, Ashley Hammer, Stacey Hammer, and Shawn Hammer.

She was born in Pueblo, CO and went to school in Richmond, CA. She graduated from Doherty High School in Colorado Springs and worked for King Soopers there and Fry's in Phoenix, AZ. After a couple of extended stays in Puerto Vallarta, she left her job at Fry's and went to Puerto Vallarta permanently to live in 2001. She loved Banderas Bay and Zona Romantica with its cobblestone streets and laid back style of living. Christine brought life to everywhere she went and the countless friends she made followed her to Monchis Sports Bar by Martillo (Hammer is español) where she was in charge.

Her ashes will come back to Colorado, but her memory will live in three states and two countries.
