CAROL HANSEN

Dear Hansen Family,
I will never forget the encouragement and example of our good leaders in the California Oakland Mission. Sister Hansen was filled with energy and enthusiasm that lifted lives and motivated us all. She has been without her husband a long time and has continued her activities with that same zest. She will undoubtedly be rewarded well for her tireless devotion and gracious service to all she met.

Dear Hansen family,
When my sister Holly van Dam told me of Carol's passing, I had to completely pause, close my eyes and reflect. To keep this brief, may I say BOTH Chick and Carol were a major influence on me AND on our entire family. You were all so blessed to be a family under the love and wisdom of your parents, Chick and Carol. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Hansen Family,

It was an honor to have served in the Oakland Mission with Prisident and Sister Hansen. Sister Hansen brought great joy to the mission and was a true lady in every word and deed. I know I will miss her. It was not until the other day I thought of her brithday and saw that she had died. May God Bless You.

Dear Hansens. While I am grieved for your loss of this great woman, I am overjoyed that she has been reunited with her wonderful husband. I knew the Hansens before I was a member of the Church--and they were instrumental in my baptism. I was--in Charles' words "the most onorthodox baptism" he had ever participated in (well, it was five minutes to midnight on a Sunday).

Nothing but the fondest memories, and gratitude for having known two such lovely people--who altered the course of...

Dear Hansen Family,

As a former missionary who served under President & Sister Hansen, please accept my condolences for your great loss. Though I know this is a difficult and sad time in your life, I can only reflect on the rejoicing because of the reunion of your mother & father. I remember how cheerful and encouraging they both were as mission parents & leaders. I always felt that your parents treated every last one of us serving in the Oakland Mission, regardless of our...

Dear Jeff & Janene,
Dave and I were out of town all week and just heard. Our prayers are very much with you for there is no easy way to send a mother to heaven. What would we do without the gospel! Our love and best wishes to you

Dear Hansen Family,

As a long-time member of the Holladay 26th Ward, may I pay tribute to a wonderful woman who blessed so many of us. Carol was an elect lady who lifted us all and made us feel closer to our Heavenly Father.

Receiving a dinner from Carol was like going out to eat at a five-star restaurant. It almost made you want to be needy given the prospect of such a delightful meal.

Much love to you and yours,

Dear Hansen Family,
As a member of the California Oakland Mission, your parents had a profound affect on my life and the way that I conducted myself - then and to this day. I have known few people that are the equal to Sister Hansen in her grace, charity and genuine love for those around her.
Along with you, I mourn her passing, but will ever be thankful for a loving Father in Heaven who saw fit to bless my life by making Sister Hansen a part of it!
With love and warmest...

Dear Hansen family, It was my privilege to be part of the mission staff of the California Oakland Mission when President and Sister Hansen were first called to serve there in 1980. Sister Hansen commissioned me to get the water fall working in the mission president's home. I enjoyed her cooking to the tune of 20 pounds gained while working there and eating meals prepared by her. I am greatful for the time spent with her and President Hansen. Hello to Tracy who hated being called "the...
