Irene B. Hamilton, 93

FAIRLEE, Md. - Irene B. Hamilton of Fairlee died Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006, in Chestertown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was 93.

Mrs. Hamilton was born March 9, 1913, in Butlertown, daughter of the late Eugene and Dola (Jones) Brown.

She attended public school in Kent County.

Mrs. Hamilton was employed by Vita Foods Co. Inc. In 1973, Vita Foods closed and she became a housewife.

She was a fluent reader who loved the word of God. She accepted Christ in her life at a young age and could be found singing songs of praise and sharing scriptures with others.

Many remember her as their encouraging Sunday school teacher at Jane's United Methodist Church, Chestertown, where she was the oldest member. Her greatest joy was being a member of the church's United Methodist Women, until her age and failing health took an effect on her participation.

Mrs. Hamilton was a charter member of the Sarah E. Travers Order of Eastern Star. She served in many ways to her local chapter, from highest to lowest office. She was a faithful, shining star.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, William Goldsboro Hamilton, on June 3, 1995.

She is survived by three sisters, Geraldine Tiller of Big Woods, Elsie Brown of Baltimore and Dorothy Brown of New York; a sister-in-law, Margaret Brown of Pond Town; a stepdaughter, Grace Evans of Wilmington, Del.; and two special nieces, Amy Wilson of Big Woods and Solistine Briscoe of Fairlee.

Services will be 11 a.m. today in Emmanuel United Methodist Church, Pomona, where friends may call to hours earlier.

Burial will be in Jane's United Methodist Cemetery, Chestertown.

The Rev. Gonazlee Matthew will officiate.

Arrangements by Kenneth Walley Funeral Service, Chestertown.
