Marie A. Hamly

Marie A. (Hoskins) Hamly, 93, of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 26, 2025.

Born and raised in East St. Louis, Illinois, Marie was a graduate of MacMurray College for Women, with a Bachelor of Science in Economics-Business. She later moved her family to Orono, Maine, where she built a career as a private executive secretary for several prominent companies in the Bangor area before retiring in 1989.

Maine was the backdrop for most of Marie's life, a place where she lovingly raised her three children. Her heart, especially, belonged to Isle Au Haut, where she spent her summers for over seven decades creating cherished memories with family and friends. It was on this beautiful island that she met her beloved second husband, the late Charles Hamly, with whom she shared a profound love for the sea. Together they embarked on countless adventures, cruising the East Coast from Maine to the Bahamas aboard their trawler yacht, the "New Moon."

Later in life, she settled in Sun City Center, where she became an active and valued member of the community, generously sponsoring various local clubs.

Marie was preceded in death by her husband, Charles D. Hamly, and her parents, Raymond and Helen Hicks.

She is survived and lovingly remembered by her daughters, Susan Strong (Tim) and Barbara Hoskins; her son, Charles Hoskins (Sarah); as well as three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Per Marie's wishes, funeral services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation at 12902 Magnolia Drive (MBC-FOU) Tampa Fl 33612-9416.

Arrangements are by Sun City Center Funeral Home, Sun City Center, Florida.
