She was born on Feb. 10, 1918, in Cooksville, Wis., the daughter of Andrew and Lena (Jerdee) Nelson. Anna attended Evansville High School. She married Robert W. Hanson on Feb. 18, 1939.

Anna loved to serve others through caretaking of the young and the elderly, retelling stories to her grandchildren, sewing patchwork squares into quilts for needy families, mending clothes, tending to her violets, planting orphan seeds into her flower gardens, baking and making meals for her family, church members, and any guest who visited.
