Marjorie (Midge) McLeod Hamilton July 5, 1915 - September 25, 2010

Midge Hamilton passed away at her home in Tollgate on September 25, 2010 at the age of 95.

Midge was born on July 5, 1915, to Frank and Mamie McLeod in San Francisco, California. She attended Sacred Heart School and later graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in political science.

In 1953 she married Fletcher S. Hamilton and they lived in Ross, California. Later they moved to Sacramento. After Fletcher retired they moved to Black Butte Ranch and built their dream home. Fletcher's health declined and they moved back to California to be closer to their daughter Lori. In 1993 Fletcher died of lung cancer and Midge and Lori moved in together in Capitola, California. While on vacation in 2006 they bought a house in Tollgate and moved in later that year.

Midge is survived by her daughter Lori; nieces, Sue Cony and Marge Huyck of Aptos, California; nephews, Gilbert Wheat of Napa, California, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy of Washington D.C.; and her beloved standard poodle Maggie Sue.

A funeral mass will be held on Friday, October 8, at 10 a.m. at St. Edward the Martyr Catholic Church in Sisters. Interment to follow at St. Winifred's Garden.
