My condolences to Mary’s family. As a physician at LMH I had the pleasure to interact with Mary concerning her top notch transcriptions of my reports. Mary was kind, dedicated to her job, and always pleasant and helpful. I am sorry for your loss of a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. I am sorry to hear of the passing of such a kind soul.
My heart goes out to Mary’s family with her passing. What a sweet personality to remember! It was a joy to claim her on the Hanson family tree. I looked forward to seeing her at our gatherings during the years of family reunions. She was so proud of her boys and her grandchildren, speaking so lovingly of each one. Another angel has her wings.
I”m speaking for the three remaining Hanson Cousins (Mary Hanson DeBolt, Bill Hanson, And Jo Hanson) children of Harlow and Edna Hanson. We all loved Mary and David. Mary was always fun. How blessed we were to have her in the Family. Condolences to Tim and Mike and families. Unfortunately none of us will be able to get back to Ks for her funeral. Will have Mass said here for her.
Love to All of you. Jo Hanson and Sally Rinehart.
It is most definitely a sad day to hear Mary has passed on from her life here on earth. I know she will steal the angels’ hearts in heaven, but will be sorely missed by every heart she touched in this world. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tim and Michael, and I hope you find peace in the days to come.
Thoughts and prayers. Mary will be missed.
