We are saddened to report the death of Else Hansen on January 2, 2025, at the age of 99 years.
She was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 4, 1925. She spent her childhood there and experienced the German Occupation during WW2. After her schooling, Else explored Europe with friends, worked as a bookkeeper, and eventually went to Britain as an au pair, spending a year in Cambridge and one in Bristol. The family in Bristol remained friends for life. In 1948 family friends introduced Else to a Danish farm boy in Lundar, Manitoba. They became pen pals for the next four years.
1952 saw Else make the trek to a new life in Lundar, Manitoba. She married Raymond Hansen on July 5, 1952, and in the next 5 years they welcomed 4 daughters. Joan, Sally, Susan, and Linda enjoyed the farm life until 1965, when the farm was sold, and the family moved to Transcona. Else worked on and off in Winnipeg, sewing or at the Federal Taxation Center, but mostly she was a stay-at-home Mom. She had interests ranging from camping, card games, bowling, sewing and cake decorating, to weaving, carding and spinning wool. Her excellent baking skills enticed her daughter’s friends to stop on their way home from school. A warm welcome and her unfailing optimism and good humor was always there for family and friends.
When Raymond retired in 1982, they moved back to Lundar and acquired a cottage at Lundar Beach. Many a fun summer day was spent there. They became involved with several Seniors Centers in their later years. Else briefly moved back to Transcona after Raymond’s death, and then to Lundar until her health began to fail. Her last years were spent dealing with Alzheimer in the excellent care of Park Manor in Transcona.
Else was predeceased by her husband Raymond, daughter Sally Strong, daughter Linda Hansen, and her grandson Colin Weir.
She is survived by her daughters – Joan Hansen, Susan Everton (Jim), Son-in-law Ron Strong. Grandchildren – Neal Everton (Kali), Sara Everton (Jared Habing), Laura Rivers (Darren), Rachel Hansen, Nikki Weir, Amy Weir (Mike McLeod) and Great-grandchildren – Aidan, Nolan, Kaylan, Daniel, Tanner, Isla, Layne, Annie, Lily, Ella, Violet, Logan, and Paige
No service will be held. May her memory bring comfort.
