LaJuan married Robert Norman Hamilton on August 15, 1947 in Gatesville, Texas. Thus began a love affair that ended with his passing in 2011.
As the mother of a young toddler, she found herself with the care of her husband who was badly injured in a car crash. Undaunted by the challenges his disabilities posed, she lived her life with poise, grace and good humor.
She was a woman of deep and abiding faith in her Lord and Savior and was a long time member of First Baptist Church in Evant.
She was a wonderful neighbor and gave generously to her friends. Her greatest joy in life was being “Memaw” to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, step father; Townsen O’Neal, brother; Everett W. Owens and niece; Sandra Shuttlesworth.
She is survived by her daughter and son in law; Pam and Danny Jones of Caldwell, grandchildren; Katie Wright and husband Josh of Lago Vista, Becky Ickes and husband Kyle of Arlington and Ben Jones of Caldwell, her great grandchildren; Chance Hill, Zoe Jones, Henry Ickes, Charles Ickes, and Andrew Ickes. Also surviving her are step sister; Shirley O’Neal, nephew; David Owens, and special friends Danny and Robin Brey and family as well as other relatives and a host of friends.
Her family wishes to thank her friends and neighbors who checked in on her, gave her rides, or otherwise helped enable her to live life on her terms – with independence.
