Priscilla Hanson passed away early April 2022, at the age of 67, in Mesa, AZ. She was a caring mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

    • Although Priscilla was my fist cousin, due to growing up in two different states & being txhe 4th youngest first cousin, we really saw a lot of each other. One memory I will always cherish is visiting ND and going up to the cottages. On Grandpa & Grandma’s side we did the fishing for: Sun fish, Northern, Pike & Walleye. When we wanted to go swimming & water skiing, we would walk across the road to Uncle Don & Aunt Maxine’s cottage & do so. We would have lots of fun & being from Iowa it was nice to have a lake side Summer vacation.

  3. I was so sad to hear of Priscilla passing. She was way to young to be gone . I will always remember the precious memories we made at the lakes every summer. We were like two peas in a pod, always together. All those childhood memories bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes remembering all the fun we had together. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Priscilla was a very special person.

  4. To all of the Hanson ND family – so sad to hear of Priscilla’s passing – though I haven’t seen her in 50 years, still have fond memories of Sunday School in “old” St John’s Church, Vacation Bible School, our two years of Confirmation – being church friends was happy time. She loved the Lord in her own way, and it sounds like she was a true blessing to her closest family and friends.
