Grafton – Gean (Emino) Hamilton, 97, passed away peacefully Jan. 23, 2021. Her beloved husband of 76 years, Alvin S. Hamilton, passed in July 2018.
Gean leaves three sons, Bob Hamilton and his wife Lyn of Plaistow, N.H., Richard Hamilton and his wife Catherine of Fort Myers, Fla., and John Hamilton and his fiancé Johanna of Hopkinton, N.H.; six grandchildren, Sherry Woods (John) of Colebrook, N.H., Amy Rogers (David) of E. Lyme, Conn., Tabatha Tobey (Selim) of Concord, N.H., Nicole Hamilton of Hopkinton. N.H., Scott Hamilton (Amy) of Warren, N.H., and Alyssa Myers of Manchester, N.H.; great-grandchildren, Alyssa, Riley, Tanner, Lauren, Kyle, Alexandria, Yasemin, and Kaitlyn; and great-great-granddaughter, Ivey. In addition to her husband, Gean was predeceased by her son, Thomas Hamilton, sister Evelyn Martineau, and brother Gerald Emino.
Born Dec. 16, 1923 in Grafton, she was the daughter of the late George and Alma (Crouse) Emino. Gean graduated from Grafton High School in 1941.
She was a lifelong member of the Baptist Church of Grafton where she developed many lasting friendships. She was happiest when spending time with family and friends. In her younger years she enjoyed family camping trips, square dancing and visiting family. After relocating to Bow, N.H. in the 1960s, she helped as the bookkeeper for the family business. In their later years she and Al enjoyed many winters in Florida.
Gean was a woman of impeccable style and the embodiment of “beautiful things come in small packages” with her small stature and love for all things pink and shiny. To know her was to observe her tremendous dedication to cleanliness; a trait which has been passed on to future generations and affectionately referred to by those who have acquired it as the “clean gene”. She possessed a keen eye for detail and devoted love, time, and care to all that she did. While she will be missed in the hearts of many, Gean will live on through the memories she provided during the long healthy, happy life she was blessed to have.
A calling hour will be held for Gean on Saturday, Jan. 30, from 10-11 a.m., at Roney Funeral Home, 152 Worcester St., North Grafton. Masks are required and social distancing will be observed. Gean’s services and burial will be private.
