Helen Hamilton

Helen Marie Hamilton, 84, of Broken Bow, finished her fight, closed her eyes, and went to be with our Lord, on Sunday, July 5, 2020. She was born to Francis Turner and Myrtle Belle (Jenkins) Turnage on December 10, 1935.

After graduating from Broken Bow High School, Helen married Kenneth Ray Hamilton on April 16, 1955, and they shared fifty-eight years together. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Broken Bow.

Helen became a beautician at the age of sixteen under the tutelage of Marion Kendrick and worked at the Marionette Beauty Shop for many years. She established her own shop and later retired her career while working with her dear friends, Jane Ross and Martha Tucker.

Helen loved her family and being with them. She and Kenneth traveled many miles following Keith’s baseball career. If one of her grandchildren participated in an activity, they were there to show support. She served as Kenneth’s co-pilot on his many trips and enjoyed every minute of it.
