Maureen W. Hamilton
March 24, 1949 –
Maureen W. Hamilton, 73, of Sun City Center, Fla., passed away Sunday morning April 9th, 2022. She was born on March 24, 1949, in Stamford, Conn. Maureen was the oldest daughter of Leslie and Irene (Kilmartin) Worth. Maureen graduated from Newtown High School in Newtown, Conn. Maureen is survived by her brother-in-law, Mark Hakey; two nieces, Maureen Hakey, and Holly Magoon, of Vermont; two nephews, Michael Hakey, of Vermont and Patrick Hakey, presently overseas; several great-nieces and -nephews; and many friends in King’s Point, Sun City Center and Raleigh, North Carolina. She is predeceased by her parents, Leslie and Irene Worth, and her sister, Louise Hakey.
Maureen attended Morris Harvey College and graduated from the University of Charleston with a BA in history. She was also a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority. Maureen retired from the NC State University in 2012, where she had worked as a data analyst. Prior to her retirement, she researched many areas in Florida and, finally, decided King’s Point in Sun City Center would become her retirement home. Maureen had dreamed for years to retire to Florida, and her coworkers at NC state enjoyed her Flamingo and tropical decorated work area.
Maureen loved living in King’s Point and quickly became active in the community. In 2014 she was elected to the Federation of King’s Point and served two terms. She also served as president of her community owner’s association from 2018 until her death.
Maureen was a voracious reader and, especially, enjoyed historical novels. She was also an accomplished seamstress in her high school days. One day she received a call to design and sew a prom dress for one of her classmates. She told Maureen she had been asked to the prom by a very handsome guy. She later discovered her friend’s date was Bruce Jenner, another Newtown HS graduate.
A memorial Service will be planned for later this spring. Family and close friends will be notified when this service will occur
