Marguerite Hansen Obituary

Marguerite Hansen, 94, of San Luis Obispo, passed away Monday, Nov. 29, 2010, at French Hospital. She was born in Edna, moved to Modesto, Calif., at an early age and then was back to San Luis in 1934. She married Vernon Hansen, owner of the local well-known "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" Ranch, just outside of San Luis Obispo. Marguerite had several nicknames "Margee, Fattie, Pat and Rite," of which "Rite" was her favorite. She loved to play canasta and bridge, and was a member of the Monday Club and Old Mission Catholic Church. She enjoyed having barbecues, shopping for clothes, gardening, her neat and tidy house and most recently, Jane''s dog, Sadie. She loved her daily morning coffee and treat at the Madonna Inn, and then later, her afternoon treat. Most of all, she had smile that could light up any room and make people happy. Even at 94, she never lost her smile or laugh. Rite is survived by her daughter, Jane Hansen and dog, Sadie. She was preceded in death by her husband, older sister and twin sister. Services will be private. We will all miss you Rite. God Bless and keep you always smiling and happy.

Jane, Though we never met, cousin Nina always told me about you and your mother over the years. I was sorry to hear she passed away with never meeting my Aunt. So nice to read such lovely comments. 94 BIRTHDAYS! Perhaps some day we will meet! All the best, Terry Hickebottom-Reed, your cousin.

Marguerite had a great smile and most positive attitude toward everything she came into contact with. She always lifted my spirits. She dressed elegantly and was a class act. I will miss her. Hank

The Schwarz family will miss our Margee. Margee's big smile, genorsity and humor was the best! My sister reminded me of the time we hiked over the hill to her big, beautiful ranch house and raided her refrigerator (she was not home at the time)! Those were the days when you could walk into a friend's house, eat their food, and be welcomed back anytime. Our best for Jane and Sadie and their future travels.

The Schwarz family will miss our much loved Margee! Margee's smile was priceless and she always shared her enthusiasm, and generosity for life with many of her friends. My sister reminded me of the time we hiked from our house to her big, beautiful ranch, and raided her refrigerator when she was not home! Those were the days when you could walk to a friend's house, eat their food, and be welcomed back into their home anytime! Always in our hearts; wishing Jane a good life with Sadie and her travels.

Miss Rite you will surely be missed by me and everyone else who loved and cared for you. You brought joy into my life and I'm so blessed to have been your caregiver and friend. And don't worry about Jane and Sadie, Jane has a great friend in me as Sadie has a somewhat friend in Tia! God Bless you Rite you will be missed.

Jane, I am so sorry to hear about our beloved Rite. I still cannot believe that she is no more. The one thing that stand out the most was her zest for life. She was perfectly groomed till the last day and loved shopping and dining at Madonna Inn and coffee at the Black Horse. She will be sorely missed. She will be with her beloved Vern for Eternity..

Sympathies and God Bless,
Krithika and Giri
