Portola Valley, California

Billie Hammond, a longtime resident of Portola Valley and Menlo Park, died peacefully on April 17 after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was 78.

Born in San Francisco, Ms. Hammond attended local schools and graduated from Stanford University in 1953.

In 1952 she married Peter Hammond and is survived by their three children: Lynn Hammond of Palm Springs, Karen Quattromani of Providence, Rhode Island, and Rob Hammond of Redwood City. There are five grandchildren.

Ms. Hammond was an avid gardener, golfer and skier, and loved flower arranging and sewing, say family members.
