Obituary

Keith E. Hammersley passed away on May 17, 2026, at the age of 77.

Keith was the proud owner and operator of Hammersley Stone Company, Inc., where he dedicated much of his life to his work. He also served his country with honor as a frontline medic in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.

In 1972, Keith married the love of his life, Nancy. Together they shared 54 years of marriage filled with love, partnership, and family.

Keith found his greatest joy in time spent with family, whether traveling, playing cards, or relaxing along the Wisconsin River. These moments were at the heart of what mattered most to him.

He is lovingly survived by his wife, Nancy Hammersley; his children, Nathan Hammersley and Shana (Hammersley) Schwarz; and his cherished grandchildren, Jacob, Jack, Annabelle, Mars, and Matthew.

He is also survived by his siblings Mary Disch (Chuck), Doris Jenni (Dan), Patricia Gullickson, and Richard Hammersley, as well as his in-laws Joan (Bob), Karen (Dan), John, Mary, Patti (Dave) and Judy, along with many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.

Keith was preceded in death by his parents, Martina Hammersley (Miller) and Fay Hammersley, Jr., and his brothers, Jim and David Hammersley.

Keith was not only our uncle but he was also a mentor! When I was a little kid, early teens Keith would always include me in things he would do with his friends and his uncle Jim. He was always willing to help with anything for anyone! Rest in peace, you are with Dave, Jim Grandma and Grandpa! We all love you and miss you!

Keith meant so much to me and my family. What a class act. His sense of humor was always spot on. He went out of his way to make me feel a part of the family when I joined. Much more of a friend than a Brother-in law. I will forever miss him.
