Martha M. Hamilton, 93, of Owensboro, passed away December 13, 2020 at Owensboro Health Regional Hopspital. She was born in Hancock County on March 14, 1927 to the late James B. and Agnes McGovern. Martha grew up on a farm. Her father would tell people that she and her sister were the best farm hands he ever had. That was, until her sister Mary, talked her into going to work at G.E., where she retired in 1992 after 49 years. She married Charles Hamilton in 1968 and spent 45 years together, until he passed away in 2013. You would often find them sitting in a swing together in their front yard and when they moved to assisted living, they would still be inseperable. Martha loved spending time with family and being a part of her church family and enjoyed flowers. Martha was also preceded in death by her brothers, William Phillip McGovern and James Bernard McGovern Jr.; sisters, Ruth Quinn, Imogene Quinn, Bridget Higdon, Mary Young, Mildred McGovern and Marie Ratliff.
She is survived by her brother, John McGovern; sisters, Rita McGovern and Ann Johnson and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
