Christine Hamilton

Christine Hamilton, age 93, of White Oak, PA, died on Friday, July 26, 2024 at her home surrounded by family and friends. She was born in McKeesport, PA on July 8, 1931 and was the daughter of the late Dr. Arthur Henry, Sr. and Henrietta Michael Hartman. Christine graduated from the Pennsylvania College for Women, now Chatham University, in an era when this was not commonplace for women. She was a member of the McKeesport College Club, and the 20th Century Club where Christine served as past president in both clubs. She also volunteered for McKeesport Meals on Wheels, the McKeesport Regional History and Heritage Center, the McKeesport High School Alumni Association as well as many, many other organizations and charities that are too many to mention. She was absolutely one of the kindest women ever born. She truly loved her children and her many, many friends with whom she spent so much time enjoying her life.

She is survived by her children, Barbara (Joseph Potts) Hamilton of White Oak, PA; and Robert “Bob” (Colene) Hamilton also of White Oak, PA; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Christine was preceded in death by her siblings, Walter Hartman and Arthur Henry (the late Norma Jean) Hartman, Jr. and many beloved pets.

Family and friends will gather on Monday, July 29, 2024 from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Strifflers of White Oak Cremation Services, Inc., 1100 Lincoln Way, White Oak, PA 15131 (Sue Striffler Galaski, supervisor, 412-678-6177).
