Kathryn Jean Hamilton

In high school, I had a really difficult time with the environment I was in and feeling understood, but Mrs. Hamilton and her class changed all of that.

Mrs. Hamilton always provided a warm and welcoming environment and her class was the one space I felt safe and understood at the time.

I’ll always feel grateful to her for that and for her belief in me.

Over a decade later, I still treasure the paintings, memories, and lessons from her class.

There are a few people in life who truly leave a lasting impact, and Mrs. Hamilton was one of them. I’ve always carried her lessons with me. She was kind, caring, and so loving. Her class was my favorite, and because of her, I fell in love with art. She believed in me, just as she believed in all the girls at school, and that belief strengthened and motivated me throughout my academic years.

One of my most treasured memories is when she went to the mother and daughter tea with me...

When I came to the Academy of the Holy Family, Baltic, Kathy was so welcoming. She was kind, compassionate and we shared many laughs together. She was truly a follower of Jesus Christ. I can just imagine her joyful enounter with God!

Kathryn was an outstanding individual with a beautiful soul. I am deeply saddened by her passing. As her former caregiver, before she transitioned to a nursing home, I had the privilege of experiencing her immense love for her animals and grandchildren. She treated me with kindness, respect, and dignity, making me feel like a member of her extended family. I am eternally thankful for the lasting impact Kathryn has had on my life, leaving a permanent place in my heart. Her fascinating stories,...

Mrs. Ham was an amazing art teacher and always made our lessons fun when I attended AHF. It was always great when she brought her Boston terriers to school!
I’m so saddened to hear of her passing, but she touched so many lives while she was here

Sending love and sincere sympathy to all of Kathy's family. My memories of Kathy are of a special happy and loving woman. May you all find comfort in the many wonderful memories of her which I know you all share.

So many wonderful memories of Kathy and Bob and the Franklin Congregational Church. My prayers are with your family - Jonathan, Laura and Nicholas.

She was and still is a sweet Loving person
