Mary Hatton

In late May, our group lost a great and vital member of our project. Mary Hatton was a nurse at ESH for over 20 years. When the hospital was “privatized” in the early 1990s she left ESH and continued with state employment inspecting nursing homes. After that she helped get our group involved in the genealogy aspect that we needed. She never forgot the patients that she cared for, and the ones before she even worked there. Many hours she spent looking for names. Mary also was the one that usually got the emails from relatives looking for answers about their relatives when the state wouldn’t tell them anything. Our project will continue without her somehow.
