June Hamilton passed away March 13, 2019 in Beloit, Kansas, with a host of family members, friends and healthcare providers by her side, 98-year-old June Hamilton rejoined the love of her life SFC Jack Hamilton for a long-awaited eternal reunion.
How do you condense 98 years of love, compassion and sharing and providing the basics of life into a short final chapter titled an obituary? Here it goes...
June and Jean (The Fuller Twins) were born to George "Shammy" and Rosa (Remick) Fuller in Osborne, Kansas on March 8, 1921. Soon after that they moved to a two-story limestone house built in the 1870's in Beloit, Kansas. It is still lived in by a nephew.
Her childhood years were very similar to "The Adventures of Ma and Pa Kettle" with all family members pitching in to help provide the basic necessities of life. Having chores and duties such as but certainly not limited to housework, laundry, gathering eggs, plucking chickens, cleaning catfish, preparing family meals, doing dishes and going to school quickly absorbed her childhood. They burned wood, drank well water and walked on a wood sidewalk to an outhouse way out back.
Her and her twin sister were inseparable, and their homes are next door to the Old Limestone House they grew up in.
In their teenage years June and Jean ventured out to find employment in Salina where June met a World War II soldier on leave. They immediately fell in love and soon married. He remained in the Army with plans of a military retirement, and she traveled with him to many Military installations across the USA. They had two sons the first Doug born in Oregon and the second Greg in New Jersey. Soon after Greg was born, he was called up to serve in Japan and they were once again separated with plans of rejoining as a family once he got settled in his new assignment. This was not to be.
Shortly after arriving in Japan fate changed their plans and dreams forever. The Korean War broke out and once again Jack was called upon to go into combat for his country.
June loaded up their small travel trailer and the two boys and pulled it with their old DeSoto all the way to the back yard of the Old Limestone House in Beloit. She was never to see her husband again.
Jack was the Sargent of Company "A" which was one of the first to be completely overrun by the North Koreans as they were under trained and under equipped for combat having been trained and assigned to Japan as Military Police. Members of Company "A" along with most the first great American forces were either killed in action or taken Prisoners and became POW's.
After months of "no news is good news" June was notified, that Jack was indeed a POW. The next couple of years were spent praying and hoping for his safe return home. From then on, her wonderful twin sister was there for companionship and support, they were most definitely two peas in a pod.
In 1952 the Army notified her that they had information regarding the death of her husband and finally after 3 more long years of praying and hoping, what were believed to be Jack's remains were Buried with Military Honors at Elmwood Cemetery's military section. June spent the rest of her life as a Widow with a dream that someday somehow Jack would come home, swing open the door and hold her in his arms again.
In her later years she spent most of her time caring for, caring about and sharing her home with her Daddy her brother Roger and several others in their final days. She had a limitless compassion for family, friends and animals. All of God's creations.
On this day that proverbial door flew open, and she is in Jack's arms again for eternity, God willing.
She was preceded in death by her husband SFC Jack Hamilton, her Daddy, George "Shammy" Fuller, her Mother Rosa Belle Fuller an older brother Lowell Fuller, a younger Brother Roger Fuller, a very close Nephew Gary Nelson and a multitude of other friends and relatives.
