Louise Hansen, age 86, passed away quietly on Chinese New Year (January 28, 2017) due to cancer.
She retired in 2016 after 36 years as a writing aide at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School. So many got to experience her gentle influence, English expertise, New York accent, and "happy birthday" serenades on the harmonica.
Louise fully enjoyed and appreciated every aspect of life; her favorite Latin phrase would have been "Carpe Diem." Her husband Neil predeceased her in fall 2016. Survivors include her children Wendy Hansen, John Hansen, and Jennifer Koziel, and beloved grandchildren Marissa, Kai, Annika, Nolan, Erin, and Brody. In Louise's memory, please visit your local library and read, read, read!
