•Hilts, Mary E. (Lamberson), Hilton: December 3, 2014, age 70. Mary passed in the comfort of her family members to heavens gate after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by her parents, Edward (Emma) Lamberson. Survived by her husband, Frank; sons, Bryan & Michael Hilts; daughter, Karen (Andrew) Lewand; brothers, David (Nancy), Robert (Elaine), Brian (Debra) Lamberson; grandchildren, David Hilts & Emma and Evan Lewand; brothers-in-law, William & Thomas Hilts, David (Lucille) Hilts; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
Mary was a talented High School Athlete earning the respect of her peers in the sports community of Herkimer County. Mary solicited the support of a fellow athlete to help advocate for girls equality in sports. Although Mary could have accomplished this task alone Frank could not refuse her request. Thus became a wonderful 50 years of history together. Mary retired from the Hilton School System and shared precious times with special friends at the bar at Hilts’s and the cabin on the mountain at Keuka.
Family and friends are invited to greet Mary’s family on Mon. from 5-7 at the THOMAS E. BURGER FUNERAL HOME, 735 East Ave., Hilton.
