Lauren R. Hamilton

Our beautiful Lauren Renee Hamilton had entered the heavenly kingdom when taking the welcoming hand of GOD on March 28, 2021. Lauren’s faith and love of GOD never faltered. Lauren was born on September 3, 1999 in Adrian, Mich., along with her twin sister Laine Hamilton to John Hamilton and Nancy Hamilton.

Lauren lived in the Tecumseh, Mich. area until her junior year of high school. Lauren graduated from Melbourne High School in Melbourne, Fla. in 2017. Lauren has held close to her heart near and dear friendships made from childhood to her last day on earth. She loved family, friends, crosses, butterflies, and sunflowers. Lauren gave comfort in being a positivity messenger sending sunshine to any and all who needed that lift of life. Always the protector of those less fortunate. Her smile, oh that beautiful smile, was the most radiant, warm and genuine. Her love and kindness was a true treasure shared and witnessed amongst family, friends, and the most fortunate to cross her path which were many. Lauren, your free spirit will always shine in our hearts.

Lauren is survived by her parents, John (Leena) Hamilton of North Ridgeville Ohio, and Nancy (Duane McKitterick) Hamilton of Sebastian Fla.; twin sister, Laine Hamilton of Sebastian, Fla.; grandparents, Thomas ‘Ed’ Hamilton of Tecumseh and John (Penny) Singer of Plymouth, Mich.; uncles, David Lay of Oak Ridge, N.J., Tim Hamilton of Adrian, and Tom (Melissa) Hamilton of Monroe, Mich.; aunt, MaryBeth Lay of Saline Mich.; and many cousins.
