Margel Hamilton Ash

September 25, 1936 - May 15, 2020

On Friday, May 15, 2020, Margel Hamilton Ash, beloved wife, and loving mother of four, passed away at the age of 83, following her husband of 64 years in death by one month. Margel was born on September 25, 1936 in Russellville, Alabama to Leonard Otis Hamilton and Opal Myrdis (Askew) Hamilton. On June 21, 1956, Margel married Kenneth Owen Ash in the Salt Lake City Temple. They raised four children, Julie, Todd, Scott, and Margel Lynn, and together built a home centered upon love for one another, family and the Savior, Jesus Christ. Margel’s life was an example of service and hospitality to everyone who knew her. Her home was filled with family, friends, and neighbors. Her intelligence, wit, humor, and genuine interest in others made her a friend to all. Throughout her life, Margel served in children, youth, and women’s organizations in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was involved in the lives of her busy husband, children, and grandchildren. Staying abreast of current affairs, traveling to different countries, skiing, exercising, baking, BYU Basketball, Geneaology, serving others, and making memories filled her life with joy and purpose. Margel was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Owen Ash, father Leonard Otis, mother Opal Myrdis, and brothers Jim Charles and Joe Hamilton. Margel is survived by her children, Julie (Cody), Todd (Sandra), Scott (Sydney), Margel Lynn (Jeff), 17 Grandchildren and 21 Great Grandchildren. A memorial service will be held for both Margel and Owen in Midway, Utah on July 18th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (165 N Center St). Alternate location will be The Homestead in Midway if churches are not yet available. We will hope we will be able to gather to celebrate their wonderful lives.
