Grace Elaine Hansen, our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend peacefully passed away surrounded by her family on November 5, 2022, in Roy, Utah. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Elaine was born on February 25th, 1936 in Brigham City, Utah to Glenn and Grace Burt.
She was raised in Brigham City and graduated from Box Elder High in 1954. She married her high school sweetheart, Bob Hansen, two days after they graduated from high school, in the Logan Temple on May 26, 1954. They were happily married for 56 years until his passing in 2010. She was a loving wife and mother. After raising her four children, she returned to school and received her teaching degree from Weber State in 1972. She taught kindergarten at Polk Elementary for 25 years. She was a natural-born teacher, who taught not only her students, but also her family and friends many valuable life lessons.
After retiring they moved to Island Park, Idaho where she and Bob built a cabin and made many wonderful memories with family and friends. Later they became Snowbirds and made many great friends in St. George, Utah. She never knew a stranger and welcomed everybody into her life and treated them like family. She loved playing Hand and Foot, quilting, decorating for each holiday, and traveling with her beloved Bob, but most importantly she enjoyed spending time with her family.
She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and faithfully fulfilled many callings.
