Mary grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, where a love for the Kansas City Royals was passed down from her mother. She left behind many friends when she moved to Zephyrhills in the late 90s. She loved the community she found in her church, especially the choir, and she established new friendships there that lasted the rest of her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Pat and Maureen Hansen, and she leaves behind her son, Chris Hansen; her sister Kathy (Ron) Garrison; nieces and great nieces; a nephew; friends that are now family; and a very special, loving dog named Toby.
We will celebrate Mary's life and faith in a Mass of Remembrance on Tuesday, April 23, at 10:00 a.m. Fr. Allan will preside. Everyone in the St. Joseph Community is invited to attend, to sing, and to celebrate Mary's strength.
Pray for all who grieve and for those who have passed from this life:
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. ~Amen~
