of Alexander, AR
February 25, 1959 - August 1, 2024
Julie Hamilton, 65, of Alexander went to be with the Lord August 1, 2024. She was born February 25, 1959 in Pierre, South Dakota to Hubert Roscoe and Darlene Tilton. Julie had a lifelong career in banking having worked most recently for Bank of Little Rock, but her true source of happiness was spending time with her family, especially the grandkids and feeding all of nature's critters.
Julie is preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Darlene Tilton and sister, Patti Mosley. She is survived by her husband, Mike Hamilton; her children, Roy 'Butch' Moomey (Leigh), Sean Hamilton, Candice Palmer (Richard); three grandsons, Aden Palmer, Ryker and River Hamilton; two granddaughters, Sydney and Hallee Moomey; four sisters, Sharon Hamilton, Janet Foreman (Larry), Jodi Abercrombie (Karl), Denise 'Buffy' Easterly (Scotty); one brother, Paul Tilton and a host of extended family and friends who will forever cherish the memories of Julie's laughter, generosity and unwavering love.
Julie will be remembered as a devoted family member whose love and dedication to her family was unparalleled. An ardent animal lover that had a special bond with all creatures, big and small. Julie's home was always open to an animal in need. One of Julie's greatest pleasures was feeding others and her culinary skills were legendary. She took great pride in preparing delicious meals for family and friends.
Julie had an infectious sense of humor and a sparkling personality that could light up any room. She had a unique ability to make people laugh and feel at ease and her joyous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Bryant Animal Shelter, in honor of Julie's lifelong passion for caring for all animals.
A Celebration of life will be held at 1 pm Tuesday, August 6, 2024 in the Chapel of Roller Drummond Funeral Home. The family requests that bright colored attire be worn. To read the full obituary and to share memories of Julie, visit www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/drummond.
Julie's presence in our lives was a gift and her legacy of love, kindness and humor will continue to inspire us all. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

What joy, laughter and big wide smiles she brought to work each and every day. Her humor made work fun even in stressful situations. She had a knack for finding humor in life. I worked with Julie over 10 years and enjoyed every day I could spend with her. Praying for you Mike, Candace and Butch.

I knew Julie for more than 40 years. Her son and mine were born about 3 weeks apart so we bonded over that. We worked together for close to 20 years. Recently she was my advocate, cheerleader, and sounding board through my cancer journey. She gave me hope. Julie was a pistol whose sense of humor left you in stitches. You couldn’t wait to her the next crazy thing she said. She loved fiercely and generously. Her family was her everything.

So sad to hear of Julie’s passing. She was a wonderful woman. I worked with her many years at FRB and enjoyed every day. She had such a contagious laugh and smile. I never saw her without a smile.
I haven’t seen her in many years but so enjoyed seeing her FB. She was so happy and all the love she had for her family. Without a doubt her family was her world.
Prayers for strength and comfort for today and the many days to come.
May God have his arms wrapped around each of you.

This lady was one in million! Our heart and lives will be forever changed! She would light up a room the minute she walked in it! She never met a stranger and everyone that knew her loved her!
Her humor and jokes kept everyone in stitches. I think it’s in our DNA to make jokes in every situation we are in no matter if it was good or bad! Pretty sure we all get that from my granddad! I miss you already aunt JuJu! I know Grandma and mom were so happy to see you. Give granddad a big Alley OOP! From us!! Love you Big , until we meet again! Rest in Love!
