Seahawks mourn the loss of super fan Patti ‘Mama Blue’ Hammond

Seattle Seahawks fans lost one of their best on Saturday with the passing of Patti “Mama Blue” Hammond.

“It is with great sadness and very heavy hearts that as a family we share that our beloved mom, grandma, great-grandma, great-great grandma, aunt, cousin, friend, and number 1 Seattle Seahawks fan, Patti Hammond, took her last and final breath in her Shoreline, WA home surrounded by family this evening March 4, 2023 at 7:20pm,” her family announced this week via her Facebook page.

Hammond had been a dedicated fan and season-ticket holder since the Seahawks’ inaugural season in 1976. Her colorful attire and winning smile will be missed by all.

“Patti’s joy and passion for the Seahawks was unmatched,” Seahawks president Chuck Arnold tweeted. “She was the ultimate 12, loud and loyal since day one, and was beloved by everyone in our organization. Sending all our love to her family. She will be truly missed but never forgotten!”

Arnold wasn’t the only one to chime in on social media, coach Pete Carroll and current and former players wished their condolences as well.

Rest in peace Mama Blue!
