Kathleen Carolyn Hansen returned to her Heavenly Father on February 22, 2026, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly.

She loved life and always had a positive attitude.

Kathleen is survived by her five sons, Mickey (Kimberly) Hansen of Phoenix, AZ, Waylon (Antonia) Hansen of Lakeside, AZ, Travis (Sharon) Hansen of Mesa, AZ, Brandon (Courtney) Hansen of Chandler, AZ, and Garrett (Stacie) Hansen of Goodyear, AZ. She is also survived by her nine grandchildren, Amber (Ben) Farnworth, Cortney (Trey) Erikson, Bryan (Paige) Hansen, Jennifer (Luis) Hansen, Cole (Elise) Hansen, Casey Hansen, Tatum Hansen, Beckum Hansen, Calum Hansen and four great grandchildren, Garrett Hansen, Karsin Hansen, Melanie Hansen Perez, and KennaDee Farnworth.
