Valmore A. Hannah

West Lebanon, NH - Valmore A. Hannah, 87, died June 5, 2023, at his home in West Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Valmore (Val to all who knew him), was born August 15, 1935, in Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada to Eugene and Cecile (Lessard) Hannah. He lived in Berlin, NH until his family settled in Lebanon in 1937, where he graduated from Lebanon High School in 1955.

Val served in the United States Air Force from 1955 to 1959. He worked as a Crew Chief on KC-97 Air Refueling Tankers and was stationed in Thule, Greenland, earning him membership in the Arctic Order, Knights of the Blue Nose.

Val and his father opened Hannah's Mobile Home Park in Lebanon in 1959 and he ran the park until his retirement in 1999. In 1961, he married his wife, MaryLou (Blanchard) Hannah.

Val was the consummate handyman and could accomplish anything he set his mind to, figuring out how to overcome nearly any obstacle with the tools and materials at hand. He was always willing to help and was the first to volunteer. He was active and coached in the West Lebanon Youth Hockey Association, supported the La Salette Community, and was a member of the Lebanon Lodge of Elks. Val and MaryLou enjoyed their summers camping in NH and wintering at their home in Vero Beach, FL.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, MaryLou; two sons and their spouses, Michael (Cynthia) Hannah of Cornish, NH and Thomas (Elizabeth) Hannah of Hampstead, NH; four granddaughters, Cheri, Kelsey, Lily, and Camelia; brother, Raymond of Chicago, IL; and sister, Lorraine Curtis of Statesville, NC. Val was predeceased by his brother, Dennis, and sisters, Joan Lecouffe and Eileen Lucas.

At Val's request, no services will be held at this time.
