Lydia (Betty) Hamilton

Passed away peacefully at the Windsor Park Retirement Residence on the morning of Sunday, December 13, 2020 at the age of 95 years.

Beloved wife of the late Bill Hamilton and loving mother of Rita (John) of Toronto and John (Hilda) of Ottawa.   Betty will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren, Paul (Cindy), Stephen (Heather), James (Jannih) and Christopher and her great grandchildren, Brandon, Emma, Cole, Gavin, Betty, Alexis, Aiden and Decklan.  She will be held in the hearts of her family forever.

She will be dearly missed by her twin sisters, Pamela (Darlington, England) and Patricia (Bournemouth, England) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Born in Darlington, England, Betty arrived in Canada in 1957 and quickly embraced Canadian life.  Her gift of giving of herself, generosity, welcoming heart and kindness for all who crossed her path was evident in all that she said and did.

The family has deeply appreciated the exceptional care and support that was provided by the staff of the Windsor Park Retirement Residence and the personal support workers from Saint Elizabeth Health Care.

Cremation has taken place.  For the safety of each other and due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, a celebration of her long and meaningful life will be held at a future date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital.
