Nancy Elizabeth Hamilton

Nancy Elizabeth Hamilton, age 87, of Coshocton, Ohio was joyously reunited with the love of her life on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. She was born on August 30, 1939 in Coshocton, to the late Rodney and Elizabeth (Smith) Bell.

After graduating from Coshocton High School in 1957, Nancy pursued a career as a switchboard operator for Ohio Bell and Coshocton Regional Hospital. She also served as a receptionist for Dr. Snyder’s office.

On October 16, 1959, she married Donald Lee Hamilton, who preceded her in death on November 29, 2020.

Nancy was a faithful and devoted member of Prairie Chapel Methodist Church. She adored shopping, had a special love for dogs, and enjoyed visiting with her neighbors from her front porch. She never met a stranger and was always ready to share a conversation and a good laugh. Above all, Nancy was a loving and devoted mother, but the roles she cherished most were those of grandmother and great-grandmother. Time spent with her family was what she treasured most.

She is survived by her two sons, Don (Rob Sandlin) Hamilton of Palm Desert, California and Steve (Ginger) Hamilton of Sunset Beach, North Carolina; two granddaughters, Katie (TJ) Fitzmaurice and Kara Hamilton, both of South Carolina; four great-grandchildren, Early, Jesse, Tommy, and Fiadh; her sister, Jennifer Richard of Tennessee; bonus grandsons, Jason Boetcher and Britton (Misty) Boetcher; and bonus great-granddaughters, Isabella and Payton; along with several nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, Rodney and Elizabeth, and husband, Don, Nancy is preceded in death by her brother, Samuel Bell, and her brother-in-law, Robert Richard.

A graveside service will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2026 at 12:00 PM in Fairview Cemetery, Fresno, with Bill Jones officiating.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Windsorwood Place and Shrivers Hospice for the compassionate care and exceptional support they provided to Nancy.

For those who wish, memorial donations may be made in Nancy’s name to Prairie Chapel Methodist Church, 45494 CR 23, Coshocton, Ohio 43812.
