Myrtle Beach Hotels on the South end of Myrtle Beach, SC said good-bye to Chick Ammons of the Sea Mist Resort on February 5, 2008.

For over 3 decades, Chick had seen the resort grow as it was first managed by her father Jason, then her brother Neal, and in the recent few years her nieces and their husbands.

Chick was a free Spirit who threw legendary parties at the Sea Oats and Tides pools of the Sea Mist Resorts Oceanfront area. Her friends loved her and she lived life with a full heart. She was 53 years old.

She leaves behind her brother Steve, Neal, and Neal's ex-wife Margaret and Margaret's two children.

In the recent past, the Sea Mist Resort has worked to convert to a property management firm like so many other Ocean Front Myrtle Beach Hotels on the South end of town. A slowing economy and a precipitous drop in the real estate market has created a slow transition period for the resort in this area. Over ninety percent of the resort is still family owned with most of the rooms, suites, and condos privately owned by the remaining Ammons family.

Myrtle Beach Hotels and Condos wishes her family our condolences and the best. Chick lived a colorful life and she will be missed in Myrtle Beach. She fought a hard battle against cancer and she embody God's grace in the last months of her time on Earth with us.
