(Official Statement)

“It is with a shattered heart that I share that I just lost my beautiful Mom… so grateful she was my Mama… I was truly blessed. Mom and Dad and Bro together again. I love you Mom, you are the best.” 

--Dee Waddell (Patti Hammond’s daughter)

Mama Blue along with her husband “Tricky” (Dick) were the original 12’s.

Season ticket holders from the very first game in 1976.

Voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999, even opposing fans loved and respected her.

Seahawk Legends would pop by her house just to say hello and the franchise so loved her that they posted this video tribute on their official page: https://fb.watch/j4HvtoU6V4/

Mama Blue set the standard for all 12’s to follow and will remain a Seattle Legend.

The only Angel in a blue and green robe, we love you Mama Blue.

GO HAWKS!
