Chelsea, MI
Her Legacy… Lois Eugenia Hansen, 86, passed away December 16, 2025. She was born on March 10, 1939, in Michigan City, Indiana to John Brown and Eunice (Phillips) Brown. Lois married the love of her life, Robert "Bob" Hansen, on September 4, 1965, at the First United Methodist Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Lois received her bachelor's degree in English literature at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She taught as a substitute teacher and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lois was a voracious reader throughout her entire life. She was a long-time member of Community Bible Church, where she sang in the choir and led children's ministries such as Awana. Growing up in several small towns near Lake Michigan, she fell in love with the lake and insisted on visiting every summer. Lois was a proud Girl Scout mom and very involved in her children's activities. Lois was incredibly kind and honest. She would always help people, whether through quiet acts of service, a warm welcome, or steady support when it was needed. Lois was looking forward with peace and faith to reuniting with her beloved husband and family. Lois was deeply loved by her family and will be greatly missed.
