HAMILTON, RITA ANNETTE (nee TURCOTTE) Passed away peacefully at Kensington Gardens in Toronto on Thursday, November 26, 2020 at the age of 92. Beloved wife of Floyd Hamilton (deceased), loving mother of Carolyn (Paul), Donna (Don), Craig (Dauphne), Mary (Jeremy), Floyd Jr. (Roxanne) and Paul (Shelley), cherished grandmother of Greg, Jessica, Elliott, Michael, Tyler, Jacob, Mary, Hannah, Zachary and Paul Jr. Predeceased by parents Philippe and Antoinette; loving sister of Florence (deceased) and Leo (Rita). Rita was known for her sharp wit, keen intellect and unconditional love for her family. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart.
