Lola Landers Hamilton passed away Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at her home.  She was born October 30, 1918 in Riverton Wyoming, while her father served in WWI.  She was 100 and ½ years old.

Lola lived 87 of those years in Bridger Valley on the Hamilton ranch where she resided until death.  She graduated from Mountain View High School with the class of 1936 and continued to educate herself and develop many talents and skills.  She was very well read and was known for her positive approach to life.
