Dorothy Hansen

August 3, 1930 - October 7, 2010

On October 7, 2010, at the age of 80 years, our loving wife and mother, Dorothy Hales Hansen passed away, at home, from cancer. She was born August 3, 1930 in Spanish Fork, Utah to Wilford Lockwood Hales and Dora Maranda Jensen, the youngest of eleven children. She met her sweetheart, Arthur, on a blind date and they were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on March 9, 1950. This union lasted 60 years and from it they had four loving daughters. Dorothy worked for Barbizon, S & M Toys, and Brides Eternal and Fashion. She was a seamstress. She started out sewing lingerie and then stuffed animals and she ended by altering prom, pageant and wedding dresses. Her church service included primary teacher, ward librarian, extraction worker, nursery grandparent, visiting teaching supervisor, and visiting teacher. She also was an ordinance worker at the Provo temple. Dorothy volunteered at the BYU Family History Library on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. She is survived by her eternal sweetheart, Arthur "W" Hansen and 4 daughters: Kathleen Walker, Laura (Rodney) Bailey, Cindy Hansen, and Mary Hansen, 1 brother: William (Louise) Hales, 1 sister: Audrey Miner, 7 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by Rex J Walker (son-in-law), parents, and 8 brothers and sisters. We would like to thank the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center 6th floor nursing staff and all of the staff from Hearts for Hospice, for their loving care of our wife and mother when she needed it the most.
