Christine Hanson Obituary

Hanson, Christine Cecile

Christine C. Hanson, age 67, of Provo, UT, formerly Paxton, Nauvoo, and Western Springs IL (among many other places); died on January 31, 2023, proceded in death by her devoted parents Juanita A. Polanco and William B. Hanson, and beloved brother Michael Hanson; loving mother of Leia M. Roeges and Lawrence J. Patron; dear sister to Suzanne Perry, Victoria Spencer, Kathleen Brown, William, Timothy, Terence, David, Brian, and Amy Hanson.

Christine was an exuberant character in life, an enthusiastic journalist, had true wanderlust, and kept many writings from her life. She kept the following poem, which exemplifies how she chose to live her life:

THERE'S A BIGGER WORLD OUT THERE

There's a bigger world out there

Go and explore it if you dare

It is easy to be done

Go out and search for the sun

A world with adventure for all

Who go beyond this garden wall.

There are lands so very dry

That are vast and the sky

There are many fertile lands

That are tended by loving hands

Mountains that for miles are seen

And valleys that are bright and green

There is a land that is far and wide

And oceans with their flowing tide

You can travel high and travel low

And never all its wonders know.
