Dorothy Marie Hamilton

Dorothy Marie was born November 9, 1925, in Refugio, Texas, to her loving parents Zobedia Agnes and Robert Roy Kolb. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Douglas T. Hamilton, Jr., son Robert Douglas Hamilton and sister Patricia Clark. She is survived by her daughter Judy White and husband Tyrone of League City, daughter Pam May and husband Jim of Kerrville, son Mark Hamilton and wife Stephanie of Dallas, and son Scott Hamilton and wife Heather of Fort Worth, plus 7 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.

She met Douglas “Chock” Hamilton, a Navy sailor, at a USO dance in Corpus Christi. It was “Love at first sight.” They were married 2 weeks later on June 26, 1942, and never looked back. Dorothy Marie and Chock crisscrossed the country, due to his USN duty transfers, for 20 years before settling in Fort Worth, Texas. They were blessed with 5 children and 62 happy years of marriage. Always a wonder with the budget, she managed to keep a family of 7 fed and clothed and the children educated in Catholic schools. Active in St Rita’s Altar Society and the Fort Worth Garden Society, she volunteered at St Joseph’s Hospital for many years.

Dorothy Marie loved to travel and enjoyed a good party. She was the pillar of our family, the glue that held us together. Greatly loved, she will be greatly missed.
