Alice Elizabeth Hampton

Alice Elizabeth Hampton, age 80, of Lynchburg, VA walked into the Kingdom of Heaven on Dec 24, 2021, Christmas Eve to have a glorious celebration with precious family who were waiting to greet her at Heaven’s Gate. Winner of the award as the oldest to live in our family history. She had an abundant character and was full of life – very much loved by her family and friends. Alice raised a grandson Joshua D Hampton who became the center of her world. Technologically savvy – she created her own successful wig online store and co-owner of Image Maker Salon and Wig Studio, Forest VA. Her faith in God helped her to survive the passing’s of a much-loved husband of 50 plus years, Gerald Hampton Sr. in 2012, her son, Gerald Hampton Jr. in 2013 and her grandson Chase Slayton in 2018. Reflecting, thankfully through the surge of Covid we chose to live life as a family unit by continuing to have contact and not separation due to the fears of this world. Family vacations, travel and family dinners of happy moments were shared and will be wonderful memories and Blessings to those of us left behind. Alice is survived by and will be sadly missed by her daughter, Alice “Nicki” Mohler; grandsons, Ryan Slayton and wife Melissa, Joshua Hampton, Eddy Slayton and wife Kristin; great-grandchildren, Gavin, Cayden, Lily, Owen; sister, Gloria Jean Palmer and husband Vince; extended family members; and doting friend, Cathy Barlow. For we were all family and Alice was our matriarch. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 8, 2021, at Burch and Messier Chapel, 1235 Walnut Street, Bedford VA with Pastor Vestal Moore officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lynchburg Daily Bread or Bethany United Methodist Church, Rustburg. Arrangements by Burch-Messier Funeral Home, Bedford, 540-586-7360.
