Trinity Rose "Rosey" Lhamon, 10, of Waynesfield grew her wings the morning of Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at her residence.
She was born March 10, 2006 in Lima, to Shawn M. & Amanda S. (Lhamon) Doty, who survive in Waynesfield.
Survivors include her grandparents, Joe Lhamon, Elaine Tilton, Charlie & Sally Doty, Joe & Shelva Gilroy; great-grandmothers, Wanda Shaw and Joann Sheets; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Trinity grew her wings with her sister, Keelin. Trinity was Keelin's "mother hen", the sisters were truly inseparable. The girls loved their parents with all their hearts, wrestling with dad was their nightly ritual. They grew up loving the fresh air and being outdoors... riding bikes and four wheelers, shooting their guns, and building hay forts in the barn with their friends. Time spent inside revolved around Monster High Dolls, Legos, and watching Ridiculousness. These lyrics from Trinity's favorite artist, Katy Perry, express the bond between Trinity & Keelin "'Cause I understand you, we see eye to eye, like a double rainbow in the sky. And wherever you go, so will I, 'cause a double rainbow is hard to find."
She was preceded in death by her grandfather, John T. "Jack" Tilton; great-grandparents, Charles & Dixie Doty, Charles G. Sheets, Samuel F. Shaw, Glen & Rose Lhamon; and special friend, Carl J. "J-Bird" Cummins.
Trinity was a fourth grader at Waynesfield-Goshen Elementary School, where she was an Honor Roll Student and involved in the Spelling Bee. She was also very active with the Waynesfield All Around Livestock 4-H Club, where she enjoyed showing rabbits. She aspired to become a veterinarian. During her quiet moments, Trinity loved Littlest Pet Shop, reading books, and watching scary movies.
A community memorial service will begin at 6:00 p.m. Monday, March 28, 2016 at the Waynesfield-Goshen High School Gymnasium. Rev. Don Smith and Rev. Pam Spencer will co-officiate. The family has requested those attending to wear purple and orange, which were the girls' favorite colors. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Trinity & Keelin Doty Benefit Account, at any branch of Superior Credit Union. These donations will be used to create a 4-H Scholarship in their memory.
A private family burial will take place at a later date at Willow Branch Cemetery.
The family has entrusted Schlosser Funeral Home & Cremation Services to handle the arrangements.
