Mary Hamilton Obituary

Hamilton, Mary Lou

Mary Lou Hamilton, born on July 22, 1942, in Franklin Couty, Ohio peacefully passed away in the company of her loving family on May 4, 2025, after a brief illness. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Grace Brown. A devoted wife, mother, and beloved Nana, Mary Lou will be greatly missed. Faith and family were the center of her life.

She adored animals and loved spoiling the family pets with extra snuggles and treats. Mary Lou was a kind and thoughtful person who readily made friends wherever she went. She is preceded in death by husband, Richard Hamilton, partner, Jim Oatney, and brother, Michael. Mary Lou is survived by her daughter, Pamela Weemes and her husband Bryan, son, Steven Hamilton and his wife Jennifer, four grandchildren, Joshua Weemes, Noah Hamilton, Georgia Hamilton and Katelyn Weemes, siblings, Barbara, Diane, Teddy, Charles, Larry, and Robert, as well as numerous friends and family who will miss her warm and bubbly presence.
