In addition to her beloved husband and parents, Cora was preceded in death by her son, Thomas Hamilton; and her brother, Frederick Wordell.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Tammy (Sharaf) Mashaal; her son, Timothy Hamilton; her cherished grandchildren, Gabriel Mashaal, Octavia Gervais, and Adam Mashaal; and her sister-in-law, Susan Sears, along with other family members and loved ones who will cherish her memory.
