~ A Celebration of Life ~

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Life is a journey unknown, we had little knowledge that her death was so near. She fought the fight, she kept the faith, and now she has gone home to God.

Deloris Ann Fogan Hamilton was born on June 11, 1951, in Marion, South Carolina, to George and Meritha Grice Fogan. She attended the public schools of Marion County, and graduated from Johnakin High School in 1970. In 1969 she married Milton E.
