Mary Jean Hanson, age 74, of Kirbyville, Missouri

 

Mary Jean Hanson, age 74, of Kirbyville, Missouri, passed away April 14, 2023, in Springfield, Missouri. She entered this life March 30, 1949, in Decatur, Illinois, the daughter of Gene and Mary (Porter) Atchison. She was joined in marriage September 28, 1979, to Martin Hanson.

Mary was gifted at creating beauty with her hands. She could be found gardening, crafting, crocheting, arranging flowers, and giving care to those in need. Mary always had others on her mind. She will be greatly missed.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents and three sisters: Donna, Brenda, and Nancy.

She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Martin Hanson; two daughters: Melissa Reed and Jennifer Hanson; four sons: Brian Reed, Allen Reed, Martin Hanson, and Dale Hanson; multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, and extended family; and her faithful dog, Odee.

A celebration of life is to be planned for a later time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are asked to be given to the family to help with the costs incurred for services. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.cremationsoftheozarks.com.
