Jeanine Gayle Bricker, 68 of Port O’ Connor, TX, passed Friday, January 25th, 2019.

Jeanine was born June 13th, 1950 in Kenedy, TX to Jesse and Pat (Smith) Atkinson. She was a graduate of Victoria High School, Class of ‘68. Jeanine chose Port O’Connor to be her permanent home in 1985 and was always proud of her community. She worked many years with the public at several PO’C businesses to include the Hurricane Junction, Opry House, Bob’s, “Johnny’s” Auto Marine, PO’C Shamrock, PO’C Fishing Center, and most recently the hometown Speedy Stop, where she was a recognized face to so many. She greeted customers, knew your name, your family, and your dog’s name. Jeanine was a great friend to so many and many for a lifetime. She enjoyed the love of her beautiful grandchildren, her pets, rock n’ roll music, a seafood dinner, and a quality cocktail.

Jeanine is preceded in death by her husband Mike Hammons and mother Pat (Smith) Atkinson. She is survived by her father Jesse Atkinson, sisters Marla Wright and Lisa Boyd, daughter Amber Bricker (Zac), and her precious grandchildren, whom she loved deeply, Keegan Short and Torunn Short.
There was a Celebration of Life Service for Jeanine February 10, 2019, at Port O’Connor Community Center.

Special Thanks to the caring staff at Memorial Medical Center in Port Lavaca, who cared for Jeanine through many years.

We have lost a part of our PO’C Community. She will be missed by so many but we know now she rests easy and is with good company, as she always wanted to be.
