Apr 17, 1946---Sep 22, 2023

Marie Ann (Fogarty) Hamil of Shawnee, KS, age 77, passed away on 9-22-23 surrounded by friends and family.  Marie was born April 17, 1946 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the daughter of Edward Sr. and Esther (Waite) Fogarty.  After moving to Illinois, Iowa, and Wichita, KS the family finally settled in Kansas City, Kansas where Marie attended Bishop Ward High School, and graduated in 1964; she then obtained her nursing degree from Avila College in 1970.  Her priorities in life were her family, friends and her nursing career.   

Marie was preceded in death by:  Spouse John Hamil, parents Ed & Esther Fogarty, sisters Nancy Schroeder & Cecilia Fogarty, brothers-in-law Ron Blazevic & Dan Cubbage, niece Erin (Fogarty) Prather, nephew Michael C. Fogarty.  

Marie is survived by many who loved her dearly, including her children:  Ann Hamil (Darrell), Nancy Hamil-Beacham (William) and John D. Hamil (Cara).  She is also survived by her siblings: Edward Fogarty Jr. (Kathleen), Angela Blazevic, William Fogarty (Peggy), Peter Fogarty (Victoria), Mabel Cubbage, Michael Fogarty (Poma), brother-in-law Lonnie Schroeder; grandchildren Nicholas Poffinbarger (Aleighnna), Mishai Balmer (Jesse), Jakob Beacham, and Leon Hamil; great-granchildren: Conrad Smith, Rayce Rogers and Mia Etter; and numerous nieces, nephews, friends and in-laws.  

Marie was fortunate to work at several medical facilities in the KC metropolitan area (listed below).  She loved working as a registered nurse, nursing educator and school nurse.  Even after retirement in 2010, she was the person everyone consulted on any healthcare issue.  Marie loved giving her advice and opinion on a variety of topics, but any involving healthcare were her favorite.

Marie was a dear friend from college years at Avila. She and John were very kind to my husband Mike and I during our early years of marriage. May God grant her peace in His Love and give all the members of her family His Peace in this difficult time.

To the family of Marie, My sincerest sympathy to all at this difficult time. Mary was a wonderful mentor, coworker and friend while working together at St. John Hospital. I know she will be missed terribly by all, especially those such as I, whom she was able to enrich with knowledge, love and kindness. God Bless.
