Willa Mae Hamilton, 82, wife of the late Arthur Lee Hamilton Jr., of New Freedom, Pa., died on Friday, August 28, 2020. She was born the daughter of the late James D. and Jessie B. Hutton in Glade Spring, Va., on March 6, 1938.

She was a supervisor in the Logistic/Warranty Divisions from 1965 until her retirement. She and Arthur relocated to Pa., where they enjoyed retirement.
