V. LaRee Hamilton Fireworks and celebration announced the homecoming of V. LaRee Hamilton on July 24, 2012. After serving valiantly for 69 years, she was welcomed home. She was born on December 4, 1942 to Loren K. and Verla Lowe Miller, the third of five children. She married J. Lewis Hamilton on September 9, 1961 and together they saw the world as he served in the U.S Army. Their marriage was made eternal in the Swiss Temple on September 1, 1973. After a successful banking career she returned to school earning an Associate's Degree from WSU in 1989. She left her career goals to care for her husband until his passing November 19, 1996. Then gradually she became the care-giver to her mother, Verla Miller. LaRee was an active member of The Church of Jesus of Latter- Day Saints. She served in many callings and was most proud of her service as a temple ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple from June 1999 - December 2009. Never idle, she was always busy with her hands creating needlework treasures, bottling up the harvest, and growing a beautiful and fruitful garden for her family, neighbors, and friends. She is survived by her children; Lisa (Tony) Paskins, Pleasant View, and Robert (Cindy) Hamilton, Smithfield; 11 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren, with one due in August. She is also survived by her two sisters; Elaine (Dale) Norberg, Green River, WY, Carolyn (George-deceased) Norton, Woodinville, WA, and two brothers; Kenneth (Sue) Miller, Altamont, UT, John ( Jill ) Miller, Green River, WY, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. LaRee not only cared for her immediate family but was always concerned with the welfare of extended family, neighbors, and friends. Special thanks to LaRee's ward family for all of their thoughts, prayers and service over the years.
