CELEBRATION OF LIFE

On January 2, 1957, in her beloved Belfast, she exchanged vows with the love of her life, James Hamilton, and together, they shared a life of love and companionship until James’ passing in 1998, leaving behind treasured memories that would forever reside in Betty’s heart. In 1957, their path led them to Ohio and in 1966 they moved to Geauga where they raised their family.

Betty was very talented with needles and thread as an avid knitter and seamstress. Yet, her greatest joy lay in the warmth of family and friends gathered around her. Betty embodied hospitality, finding immense pleasure in hosting those dear to her heart.

Betty leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion in the hearts of her children: Wendy (Jeff) Schwall, Craig Hamilton, Brian Hamilton, and Beth (Tom) McCaffrey. She was also a doting grandmother to Kelsey Hamilton, Molly (Ryan) Hofmann, Katie Hamilton, and Clare Hamilton, whose lives were enriched by her gentle presence and unwavering love.

Betty now joins her beloved parents and her dear husband, James Hamilton, finding solace in the reunion with those who went before her.

The family invites all who knew and loved Betty to join them in a celebration of her life at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Chardon United Methodist Church, located at 515 North Street, Chardon, OH 44024. Following the service, a luncheon will be held, offering an opportunity for friends and family to share cherished memories.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Berkshire Education Foundation at 14155 Claridon Troy Road, Burton, Ohio 44021, ensuring that her spirit of generosity and compassion continues to touch the lives of others.

I am sorry to the family for this loss. Although this loss was not apart of me nor my sister. I had no idea she had passed and have had no contact in 15 years. My condolences, Kelsey Welborn

Betty lived across from my mom (Patricia Norder) in Bridgewater. They both cherished eachother. I used to call her "Irish Betty" and she would giggle at that and light up a room with her laughter. We all adored her. She would always have cookies for my children and they loved to visit her. My daughter Chloe and Betty had a special bond. She would go to her house and they would do crafts when Chloe was old enough. Betty made us our favorite hooded bath towel and knit sweater for Chloe when she was first born. They are keepsakes we will not part with. She knitted them Christmas ornaments and had so much joy sharing them with my children. We will remember her everytime we decorate the tree. We would have Betty over for tea parties and they would eat their favorite peanut butter and jam sandwiches together. Her kind spirit will not be forgotten. Our heartfelt condolences and thoughts are with her family. April, Keith, Ben and Chloe Brewster

When I think of Mrs.Hamilton, I think of this beautiful little lady with the sweet accent. She always could bring a smile to my face. I’m so sorry for your loss!
