Ella ‘Jennett’ Hamilton
ESCANABA, Mich. — Close to midnight, on Feb. 5, 2019, Ella “Jennett” Hamilton, of 1915 24th Ave. S., Escanaba, Mich., left this life to join her husband in her new life with Jesus. Jennett was born April 6, 1921, in Illion, N.Y. She met her best friend and the love of her life, Herbert D. Hamilton, in 1937. They were married at First Methodist Church, in Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 12, 1941.
Jennett is remembered as a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She loved to laugh and share her gift of gab while experimenting and creating elaborate dinner parties for friends and family. She was proud to be a part of the Central United Methodist Church family. She adored her dog Blinky and kitty Sarina. They adored her too!
Jennett is preceded in death by her husband, parents, brothers, and sister-in-law.
She is survived by her daughter, Holly Hamilton of Escanaba; her son, Dan (Denise) Hamilton of Westland, Mich., four grandchildren, Elizabeth, Skylar, Jason, and Shayna, and four great-grandchildren, Tyson, Roman, Abagail, and Olivia, and her kitty Sarina.
