Obituary: Bessie Ann (Hamilton) McLemore, Mill-A

Bessie Ann (Hamilton) McLemore passed away June 24, 2022, at her home in Mill-A, WA. She was 83 years of age at the time of her passing.

She worked at the Wind River Nursery, Carson Hot Springs and as an EMT with Skamania County. She will be fondly remembered for her smile; her quick wit with Don, her husband of 63 years; her love of the Seattle Mariners; and her ever-present Diet Dr. Pepper. She will be deeply missed by her friends, family and all who knew her.

Bessie is survived by her son Darin (and wife Tina); her daughter Terri (and wife Yamiska); her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Donald McLemore; her daughter Dottie Schultz; and Bessie’s brothers Don Hamilton and Elmer Hamilton.

Per Bessies’s request, there will be no public funeral service; but the family has decided to gather later this summer to pay tribute.

Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center • 1401 Belmont Avenue, Hood River, Oregon 97031. Visit www.AndersonsTributeCenter.com to leave a note of condolence for the family.
