Leta Hannneman
January 2, 1934- May 11, 2025
Leta was born to Reba Lawson in Springfield, Missouri. Although she never knew her earthly father, she came to know her heavenly father early in her life and walked with him, seeing the benefits of his presence.
Leta was raised and attended school in Springfield, Missouri, and Iowa. She graduated from Springfield High School and worked at Drury College. Her occupations included homemaker, salesclerk at Hass Drug, Dallas, Oregon, and 10.5 years as a receptionist for the Itemizer Observer.
Leta enjoyed reading, handcrafts, canning with her late husband Fred Hanneman, and camping and traveling in their van and Scamp trailer. She was also a member of Valley Life Center, Assembly of God Church in Dallas, for 65 years. She served as Sunday school secretary, Women's Ministry coordinator, sang in the choir, and was the church librarian.
Leta also enjoyed her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and enjoyed attending their activities. Leta is now in heaven with her husband Fred, whom she married on October 25, 1952.
Leta will be missed by her son, Rick (Susan) Hanneman of Lebanon, Oregon, and daughter Diana (Mark) Wanek of Salem, Oregon. She had four grandchildren: Bethany Dougherty (Patrick) of Newport, Oregon, Caleb (Michelle) Hanneman of Laramie, Wyoming, Aaron (Sarah) Wanek of Orlando, Florida, and Stephen Wanek of Redding, California. She also had three great-granddaughters: Faith and Grace Dougherty and Kara Hanneman.
