Miss Hanson was born Feb. 26, 1907, in Lusk, the daughter of Frank and Catharine Hanson.

She grew up on the family ranch near Young Woman Creek north of Lusk in an area that was in Converse County before Niobrara County was formed.

During World War II, she worked on war projects at the Cheyenne Airport.

After the war she returned to the family ranch and Lusk, where she cared for her parents until their deaths.

She was preceded in death also by a half-sister, Margaret Miller. She is survived by a brother, Dan B. Hanson of Kaycee, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were Monday at the Peet Mortuary Chapel. The Rev. Mark Lohr officiated. Burial was in Lusk Cemetery.
