A descendant of the Chamblee family of Gainesville, she was a life-long member of St. John Baptist Church. She was a loving, caring mother to her children and a loving, caring mother figure to many others as well. She loved to cook, and in the tradition of her fore bearers from "the big house" at 414 Race Street, when her table was set it was open to any and all who came.

She is survived by two sons: Judge Michael E. (Odessa) Hancock of Stone Mountain, Warren Hancock of Gainesville; two daughters, Phyllis (Walter) Cunningham of Buford and Florence (Jeffrey) Scandrett of Jefferson. She leaves behind five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, a half-sister, Linda McMullen of Toccoa, Georgia, and a favorite cousin, Martha Mize.
