Paul E. Hanna, 94, passed away peacefully on Wednesday November 19, 2025 with his loving family by his side. He was born on August 9, 1931 in Sewickley, Pennsylvania to the late Esther Ruettgers Hanna.

Paul proudly served our country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. Following his honorable separation from the military, Paul went on to own and operate his metalcasting & equipment company. In his free time, he loved to play golf and was always one to stay active in his community. Paul was a life-long Mason. Above all else, Paul loved his family with his whole heart. He will be deeply missed.

Left to cherish Paul's memory are his adoring wife of over 72 years, Mrs. Jean Ellen Peterson Hanna of Pawleys Island; their sons, Paul J. Hanna of Pawleys Island & Gregory Hanna of North Carolina; beloved granddaughter and the apple of his eye, Ashley Marie McKee; as well as many supportive friends and neighbors.

A Celebration of Pauls' life will be held privately.
