Cecilia G. Hammel, 66, of Quakertown, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, August 28, 2025, in the Emergency Room at St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Campus.
Born on May 7, 1959, in Quakertown, she was a daughter of the late Raymond T. and Ruth L. (Miller) Cox.
A graduate of Quakertown High School’s Class of 1977, she went on to hold employment with Pennsburg Manor and LifeQuest. Her favorite role, though, was that of homemaker—an area where she truly excelled.
During her free time, she found joy in taking walks, observing nature and tending to her yard, maintaining her home, sewing (which she learned from her mother-in-law), studying scripture, performing good deeds, and playing her violin.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her daughter-in-law: Karen Schroder and brother-in-law: Michael Berger.
Cecilia will be lovingly remembered by her husband of forty-six years: C. Federick Hammel, to whom she wed on October 14, 1978; sons: Alexander C. Hammel and Walter J. Hammel; brothers: Michael Cox; and Raymond T. Cox, Jr. and his wife Cheryl; sisters: Jane L. Berger; and Linda A. Shoenfelt and her husband Paul; and three grandchildren: Ambrose Hammel, Danyka Wambold, and Naomi Hammel.
A viewing will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 6:00 until 8:00pm. A second viewing will be held at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church, 2545 West Pumping Station Road, Quakertown, on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 10:00am until the time of the Mass of Christian Burial—in church—at 11:00am.
