Candace M. Hamilton

In loving memory of Candace Margaret Hamilton, born on August 2, 1964, in Middletown, OH, she graced this world with her warmth until October 2, 2026. Known fondly as Candy, she embodied the spirit of love, a heart that embraced all who crossed her path.

Candy will be cherished by her devoted husband of 30 years, Rick Hamilton, married on June 4th, 1996 in the bright lights of Las Vegas. Together they made many fond memories traveling the lower 48, forging a bond that echoed the joy of adventure. Her love was also shared with her beloved dogs Charlie, Maggie, Lucy, and Roxanne, whom she cherished like children.

The laughter and warmth of her stepchildren, Rickey Jr. (Amanda), Joey (Kellie), and Tommy (Angie), along with her 16 grandchildren and nephew she loved very much Tucker, filled her days with immeasurable joy.

Candy was preceded in death by her mother, Gaile Susong, her brother, John Clevenger whom she dearly loved, and her doting grandparents, who held a special place in her heart. The lasting friendships she shared at Miami Valley Gaming, contributed to her vibrant spirit, leaving behind cherished memories with dear friends close to her heart, Brent Bowling and Amberli Cook, and a host of others.

Candy's life was a beautiful ode to love, friendship, and family.

Details of the memorial ceremony will be announced in the coming days; all who knew and loved Candy are invited to share in this tribute, as we hold her memory close and carry her light forward. Her earthly journey has come to an end, yet her loving and caring spirit will forever dance in our hearts.
