In Loving Memory of Karen Sue Hamilton
Heaven gained another angel when Karen Sue Hamilton passed away on November 3rd, 2025, and is now with her Lord and Savior.She truly embodied the qualities of a great person. Those who knew Karen would best describe her as exceptionally caring, friendly to everyone, and devoted to bringing joy to all, especially children; a passion reflected in her long career managing Chuck E. Cheese locations and her retired years as a grandmother.
Karen is preceded in death by her mother, Nancy Pasicka, stepfather, David Pasicka, and brother Ted Orr. She is survived by her loving husband, John Hamilton, and devoted sons, Michael Hamilton (Melanie) and Matthew Hamilton (Courtney). She was a proud and loving Nana to her grandchildren: Jaxon, Kennedy, and Monroe. She is also survived by many loving family members, including her father, Richard Orr, stepmother, Laura Orr, her only sister, Jeri, brothers Richard, Michael, Joseph, James, Robert, Christopher, & several nieces and nephews who have now started their own families. We also cannot forget the many friends that were like family to her.
Karen's request was to be cremated and to have her ashes spread at a meaningful location from her childhood. While there will not be a formal celebration of life, the family encourages all who knew her to honor her in their own personal manner. She was an incredible person who made a meaningful contribution during her time in the world. May she rest in peace.
