She was also earning her B.S in Early Childhood Education at the college.

Hannah was a voracious reader and was always found reading multiple titles at a time. She enjoyed cross-stitching and quilting. She was an Assistant Girl Scout Leader for Troop 579 in the Gateway Girl Scout Council throughout her daughter’s run from Brownies through Seniors. Hannah volunteered with the Displaced Homemaker Program at Santa Fe, which helped her get her start at the college. She devoted her life to her children, choosing to be a stay-at-home Mom. Her graciousness, strength, kindness, politeness, compassion, unique laugh, sweet voice, and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
