Lake View Plantation - Sandra Edna Bowden Hamlin, beloved mother of three, passed away at the age of 84 in the late evening hours on Sunday, December 18, 2022. She was born March 16, 1938, in Dexter, the daughter of George and Edna (McGlauflin) Bowden. Sandra graduated from Milo High School in 1956, and wed her high school sweetheart, Dwight R. Hamlin (predeceased). After spending a brief time in California, Sandra and Dwight settled in New Hampshire to raise their family, before she eventually retired to her home state of Maine after Dwight’s passing. Sandra worked many years as a professional secretary and real estate agent. She was an avid reader and had a passion for sewing and doing puzzles. However, her greatest love was her family and spending time with them at their family camp in Sebec, Maine. Sandra always welcomed you into her home and heart with open arms, making you feel comfortable as part of the family, and acquired a few extra kids over the years (including all of her grand-dogs). Everyone that came into contact with Sandy truly loved her. Sandra is survived by her children, Jeffery S. Hamlin and wife, Sharon, Kimberly M. Dimon and her husband, Charlie, and Richard M. Hamlin and fiancée, Angela Mason; 6 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; her partner, Claude Williams; and her sister, Sharon Bowden Roubo and her husband, Vic. In addition to her husband, Dwight, she was predeceased by her brother, Kenneth Bowden; step-mother, Mildred “Mimi” Stillman Bowden; and her grandchildren, Justin B. Hamlin and Amy Bell. A graveside memorial service will be announced in the spring. Memorial contributions may be made to a local animal shelter of one’s own choice. Arrangements are in the care of the Lary Funeral Home.
