Valerie Carol Hamilton

Valerie Carol Hamilton, a devoted early childhood educator, beloved mother and grandmother, and faithful servant of God passed away on June 26, 2025. She was 68.

Born on December 29, 1956, Valerie spent her life nurturing others—both in the classroom and at home. As an early childhood teacher for many years, she believed deeply in the potential of every child, creating safe, joyful spaces where little ones could thrive and discover the world around them. One of her proudest accomplishments was her integral role in what started as a preschool in the Bethany Presbyterian Church basement that has grown into a remarkable Christian School.

Outside of her work, Valerie’s greatest joy was her family—especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She cherished every moment spent with them, whether it was playing board games or diving into a craft project that left glitter on every surface, she believed the best memories were the ones made without worrying about the mess.

Valerie is survived by husband, Victor; her three children, Matthew Felty (Emily), Paul Felty (Cathy), and Alison DeAngelo (Andrew); her brother, Steve Trout (Toni); her brother-in-law, Lynn Coomes; and her eight beloved grandchildren, Leah, Salvatore, Benjamin, Natalie, Olivia, Weston, Nolan, and Hannah.

Valerie was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Betty Trout, and her sister, Christine Coomes.

Funeral services were held on July 5 at Janes United Methodist Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Janes Christian Academy, 213 N.

Walnut Street, Rising Sun, MD 21911.

A celebration of Valerie’s life will be held by her children and grandchildren in the coming weeks, with details to be shared with family and friends.

Valerie will be forever remembered for her warmth, her creativity, and the unwavering love she gave to those around her.
