Louie had his own business later down the road, Schmerber’s Plumbing, and mom was a strict secretary for him. With a second marriage in tow, there were two more children from Louie’s first marriage, Jay and Patty Lou.
She was preceded in death by her husbands, Wayne Jr. Hamman and Louis J. Schmerber; her parents John and Selma; a brother Don Floyd (Tempe) and a son Dusty Wayne Hamman.

We would like to thank all who helped take care of our mom, Maria and Angel (Angel Home Care), all employees of Aviant Hospice, you were all a blessing and thank you.
Per mom’s wishes, she did not want funeral services, only graveside services at Pima Cemetery at a later date.
Mom we will miss you so very much but know in our hearts you were tired and ready to go home to the other loved ones you missed dearly. Until we are together again, you will be in our thoughts and prayers every day.
Assisting the family, Lamont Mortuary of Globe.
