PRICE – Helen May Olson Hanna, the loving daughter of John Irwin Olson and Reva Watt, passed away Saturday, April 28, 2007, at her home in Price, at the age of 92.
She was born Jan. 19, 1915 in Price.
Shortly after her birth the family moved to Sunnyside. When Helen was 18 months of age, her family moved to Victor to help her uncle on his new farm. The family moved into a tent where Helen’s sister Dora Mortensen was born. Due to the cold and Dora’s health, her father packed their meager belongings in a wagon and moved to Storrs, later renamed Spring Canyon, a coal mining town near Helper. Helen lived there until she was in the sixth grade at which time her family moved to their own farm in Miller Creek. Helen lived there until she met and married “the boy next door,” Jack Hanna. On July 28, 1933, she married John “Jack” Darwin Hanna in Price; Jack passed away on June 16, 1993.
Helen and Jack purchased a farm in Wellington and lived there 14 years. In 1957, they moved to Price, where Helen has resided for the last 50 years.
Helen loved nature and enjoyed her yard and garden. She spent many fulfilling hours each day in her yard and planned and color coordinated her planting each year. She was recognized by the State of Utah for beautification of her yard. Her family and friends enjoyed her talent and visited her often to see her flowers.
Jack and Helen raised four children, Harold (deceased); wife, Darla; Donald Blake, wife Myrna; Wayne L., wife, Loretta; Carol, husband, Duane; sister, Dora Mortensen; 27 loving grandchildren; 52 great-grandchildren; and 36 great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by husband, Jack; son, Harold; two sisters, six brothers, and two granddaughters.
