Annie Moore Brown Hammond

Annie Moore Brown Hammond, born November 17, 1940, in Birmingham, Alabama, died peacefully on January 26, 2025, in Tallahassee, Florida. She was the youngest daughter of Kitty Stella and Dr. Eldridge Tracy Brown and was the youngest of three sisters: Marie Hannah Brown and Laura Etta Brown Chasen. Ann attended Lakeview Elementary and Ramsey High School in Birmingham before pursuing higher education at both the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and Samford University in Birmingham. Her life was marked by a deep commitment to faith in Jesus, the unity of His Church and the power of prayer. In the 1980s, Ann worked for Birmingham Magazine selling advertising while also dedicating herself to ministry. She helped establish Birmingham Alive, a parachurch ministry fostering unity among Christians across racial and denominational lines. This effort included the John 17 Fellowship and several Concerts of Prayer. Ann later expanded the John 17 Fellowship to both Montgomery and Mobile, Alabama, continuing her mission of uniting pastors and equipping them in prayer. Ann married The Rev. Dr. Harold M. Hammond in 1990, and together they founded Shepherd's Heart Anglican Church in Fairfax, Virginia. Their partnership in ministry lasted until Harold’s passing in 2015. She is preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Marie; her husband, Harold; and her daughter, Tracy Stewart Appleby. She is survived by her daughter, Travis Stewart Boline (Doug); her son, Robert Mickey "Mike" Stewart Jr.; her grandchildren: Hunter Boline, Caitlin Baldauff (Brian), Sean Appleby, Courtney Stewart, and Cameron Stewart; her great-grandsons: Corbin and Jacob Baldauff; her nieces: Julie Chasen Ross (Mitch) and Ellice Chasen; and her cousin Greg Taylor.
