Billy Bert Hamilton
VARDAMAN—Billy Bert Hamilton, 88, of Vardaman passed from this life on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, in the State Veterans Home at Oxford.
Born February 25, 1932, in the Wardwell Community, Billy was a son of the late Hugh Gaston Hamilton and Ruby Leola Hardin Hamilton.
Billy, a United States Air Force veteran, served his country during the Korean War, in a time which proved his worth as a soldier. He was the recipient of three distinguished awards: National Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal and Army Occupation Medal. When Billy returned home from overseas, he landed a job in the timber industry as a logger. He spent his days trimming, cruising, and cutting lumber, which provided the framework to build the very nation he had fought to protect. He lived upon the level and by the square as a member of the Vardaman Masonic Lodge. He proudly belonged to the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans. Billy found joy in various types of fishing from the more traditional baiting a hook and casting a line to grabbling for a feisty flathead catfish. When Billy wasn’t on the water after a fish he could be found patiently awaiting a deer on a relaxing hunt. As a member of New Providence Baptist Church, Billy knew the Lord and His promise of life after death.
He leaves his loving wife, Doris Harrell Hamilton; one son, Barry Hamilton (Karen) of Water Valley; a daughter, Lindy Hamilton Monaghan of Vardaman; three grandchildren, Jace Hamilton, Karla Brown and Brooke Monaghan; five sisters, Carolyn Henson of Bartlett, Tenn., Jean Sanderson of Kansas City, Mo., Gloria Gilless (Al) of Southaven, Gwen Pace (Larry) of Marietta, Ga., and June Edington (Grover) of Vardaman.
In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by one brother, Hugh Anderson Hamilton; and three sisters, Ruth Cole, Peggy Sue Hodge, and Shelba Joyce Willis.
A graveside service was held on Wednesday, August 12, at 4 p.m. in Hillcrest Cemetery, with Bro. Joe Carl Sanderson officering. Walt Edington, Jace Hamilton, Don Harrell, David Holloway, Phil Lucius, and Hal Willis were pallbearers. Parker Memorial Funeral  Home of Bruce and Vardaman was in charge of arrangements.
