Donna I Hamilton

Donna Izetta Wing was Born Oct 2, 1933, in Mandan, North Dakota. She passed away peacefully at her home on November 2, 2022. She met her husband to be, Neil Hamilton at the age of 17. They married after their high school graduation on November 25, 1952 at the age of 19. Throughout their beautiful married life of almost 70 years, they were blessed to have 8 children: Four boys - Kerry, David, Aaron and Justin Four girls - Dawn, Pamela, Wanda and Nicole Donna was interested in religion at an early age, and used to ask her Lutheran minister many questions he could not answer. She was contacted by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the door-to-door ministry. Neil would giver her a roll of dimes for the laundry. She used part of that money to get a 6-month subscription to the Watchtower and Awake. She had her many questions answered. Her favorite scripture was Jeremiah 10:23 that says, “I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” She influenced her husband Neil to study but he decided to try prove the witnesses wrong. He instead found the truth also. All of their 6 remaining children are in the truth and doing well. She and her husband were baptized on November 7, 1963 at a convention in Devils Lake, North Dakota. Both were 30 years old. The baptism was done in a steel horse trough. It gets very cold that far north in November, but thankfully the brothers had the room and the water warmed up. She spent 59 years in the ministry. Sometimes pioneering, when family obligations and her health permitted her to do so. She could relate many experiences about braving the extremely cold temperatures, and having her children join her in doing what had to be done to get the ministry accomplished. At the last, she was confined to write letters, and did so faithfully through the last month of her life. She dearly loved Jehovah and had great faith in his promises to eliminate all sickness, misery, and death. Right up to the last few hours you could hear her call his name. Even though our grief is great having lost this wonderful lady, we picture her as still alive because she is in Jehovah’s Memory. We know she is just sleeping. We look forward to the future when she will see the fulfillment of the promise she believed so strongly, and be resurrected to perfect life on a paradise earth. She is survived by her husband, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, as well as two sisters, and countless spiritual brothers and sisters that she loved. Thanks to all our family and friends for their loving support during this miserable time. May Jehovah bless and keep you well and safe. The Hamilton Family
