In her leisure time Mrs. Hanan enjoyed reading, gardening flowers and vegetables, and had a fondness for animals.  “She loved dogs,” said her son, Richard. 

Mrs. Hanan was a member of the Prince’s Bay Reformed Church since 1930.   Her husband of 21 years, Richard, died in 1964.  In addition to her son, Richard, she is survived by one grandson.
