April Hansen Obituary

April L. Hansen
October 23, 1992 - May 12, 2021
New York, New York - April L. Hansen, age 28, passed away Wednesday, May 12, 2021 following a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis.
April graduated from Avon Grove High School, located in West Grove, PA, in 2011. In 2012, she founded her own business, The Trendy Little Geek, which was born from her passion of quilting and love of quality fabrics.
April continued her education at Meredith College, graduating in 2016 after a double lung transplant. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design.
Following college graduation, April moved to Brooklyn where she spent her time exploring the city and absorbing the rich culture of New York. She was an avid foodie with an artist's soul and loved every minute of living in Brooklyn.
While continuing to run her own business, April worked full time at Trader Joe's in the SoHo section of Manhattan.
April was a go-getter with an indomitable determination to succeed at any endeavor. She was not one to sit still.
As a transplant recipient, April understood the importance of organ donation firsthand. In her death, she donated her organs in the hope of bettering the lives of others. Her desire was that her donation could assist in the repair of a burn victim's damaged skin or allow a visually impaired person to regain their sight.
April is survived by her mother, Nina Hansen; her father, Eric Hansen; as well as her aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. April was preceded in death by her fiancé, Cris Dopher.
You are invited to visit with April's family from 6:30PM to 8:00PM on Friday, June 18, 2021 at Foulk Funeral Home, 200 Rose Hill Rd., West Grove, PA 19390 and again on Saturday, June 19, 2021 at Nottingham Presbyterian Church, 497 W Christine Rd, Nottingham, PA 19362. Visitation at the Church will be 1:30-3PM (Saturday June 19) with a memorial service to follow at 3:00PM.
In lieu of flowers, April's family kindly requests donations be made to a Make-A-Wish, a nonprofit organization that brought great joy to April's life. Donations in her memory may be mailed to Make-A-Wish America, 1702 East Highland Ave., Suite 400, Phoenix, AZ 85016 or to your local Make-A-Wish office.
