Lyn Hamilton Obituary

PLAISTOW, NH – Lyn passed away on 8/13/2025 at 10:30pm with me holding her hand. In her last 24 hours she went from waking up and quietly asking for cranberry juice, lime sherbet or water every couple of hours, as she did at 10pm the previous evening and asking for sherbet except for the first time she asked me to feed it to her. Up until that time she would take the half full glass of juice or water with a straw, or dish of sherbet with a spoon and eat it. After midnight she could not talk, although she seemed to be trying to, did not open her eyes, and was unable to even swallow a drop of water placed into her mouth. My wonderful and loving wife Lyn's wish was to be cremated after passing. I promised Lyn that I would lovingly keep her ashes and make arrangements for my cremated ashes after passing, to be mixed with hers and buried at the cemetery where her parents, grandparents, Aunt Joyce, and other family members have been laid to rest in Connecticut. Her wishes were also to not put our family members and dear friends through the anguish of attending calling hours, or the guilt of not attending because of distance, health or other obligations. As in life, Lyn has always put others before herself. Lyn and I had a wonderful 59 year marriage that I will cherish the rest of my life. It is difficult to imagine not waking up with her next to me, or my life without her. Arrangements are under the care of the Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main Street, Haverhill.

Lyn was my cousin and we shared many memories growing up within walking distance of each other. She was 3 years older than me, so I was impressed by all of her life experiences. I remember riding with her on the first day she had her driver´s license. She then got her first job at Friendly´s, which is where she met Bob. I was 17 when Lyn and Bob were married and I was very excited to be a bridesmaid in their wedding. It seemed like a fairy tale wedding to me and she looked like a princess. Lyn and Bob remained devoted to each other through the years. We will all miss her.

Lyn was my beautiful cousin. I was about 10 when she and Bob got married and I thought she was such a beautiful bride. She and Bob always kept in touch with my mom until she passed.i send my heartfelt sympathies to him. He was her steadfast companion and love of her life.
