Most glass urns are hand blown, giving them that extra level of attention and craftsmanship to make them an extra special unique way to honor your loved one. Many also allow you to have a small portion of your loved one’s cremated remains infused into the piece. If you'd like to know what's available in NY, send us a message and we can help.

Celebrating the Life of Hilda E. Parker

It is with a heart full of memories that we share the news of Hilda E. Parker, 96, of Conklin, who gracefully departed this world on December 16, 2025. Surrounded by her loving family and the comforting presence of her cat nestled on her lap, Hilda passed away peacefully at home, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth.

Hilda was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald G. Parker, the love of her life, who surely welcomed her with open arms. She is survived by two devoted daughters, Candace Gregory (Dave) and Cynthia (William) Wigner, who carry on her spirit of kindness and resilience. Her family tree blooms with grandchildren—Joshua (Cathy), Sarah Gregory, Aaron Gregory (Kae), Justin Wigner (Amber), and Jamie Fortunato (Mark), and great-grandchildren, Parker, Vivian, and Alice Gregory, as well as John and Lincoln Burns. Hilda also cherished her numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

After a fulfilling career as the Medical Office Manager for Dr. Park in Binghamton, Hilda embraced retirement with the same enthusiasm she brought to her work. Her dedication to family, friends, and community was matched only by her love for animals, a passion reflected in her support for the Broome County Humane Society.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Frias and his exceptional team and Lourdes Hospice, who provided compassionate care during her final days.

Join us in honoring Hilda’s remarkable life at a Celebration of Life on May 9th at the Maines Community Center in Conklin. More details will follow as we gather to share stories, laughter, and love in her memory. Please note that services were private, arranged through SAVAGE-DeMarco Funeral Service in Binghamton. We invite you to express your condolences at www.SavageFS.com. For those wishing to honor Hilda's memory, memorial contributions may be made to Lourdes Hospice or the Broome County Humane Society.

Makeup plays a starring role at many funeral services — the last time family members will physically see their loved ones before the casket is closed. While chemical companies manufacture makeup specifically for post-mortem use, several morticians prefer to reach for over-the-counter cosmetics, with some going as far as using a special airbrush kit.

Steven E. Hamilton, 63, of Binghamton. His family is saddened to announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother on 18 April 2026. Steven was born on 29 December 1962 to Robert J Hamilton and Mary A (Hamilton) Ticknor. Steve is predeceased by; his father, Robert J. Hamilton; his stepfather, Douglas W. Ticknor; 4 Grandparents; 8 Uncles; 6 Aunts; and several cousins. He is survived by; his Mother, Mary; sisters, Dawn M. Rowe and Jennifer M. Kokesh; brother, Carl R. Hamilton; six Aunts; nieces and nephews; great-nieces and nephews, Holt and Hamilton cousins. He graduated from Chenango Forks High School and proudly joined the United States Navy.

Steve was a loving brother and devoted fan of the 49ers, Redskins, Nascar and his Hot wheels. He had love for his family, friends and animals. If you ever wanted to win trivia night on music and movies, he was the person to have on your team. 4:20, was the best time of day for him. WWF & WWE will be missing their most devoted fan in the twin tiers. His love of conversation, who did what and when? Loving to prove he was right was fun. Even after losing part of his leg, he still loved to swim. He opened his home to his Mom and Stepdad, brother and friends who needed his help.

A Special THANK YOU goes out all who helped to make Steve's and Mom's lives easier. His unexpected passing will leave a hole in everyone's hearts. There will be a Home Going Celebration later in the year to celebrate our favorite 49ers fans' life. We will update here and on FB and on his book of memories. Please express condolences at www.SavageFS.com. A full obituary will also be found at www.TiersNews.com. Arrangements are entrusted to SAVAGE-DeMarco Funeral Service.
