CHUBBUCK - Carolyn Hansen Vesser, beloved companion, mom, grandma and sister, passed into the spirit realm while sleeping on Tuesday, April 27, 2010, following a rally from an extended illness.
Blessed with many gifts, she put the Lord first as she was able along with her family.
Survivors include her husband, Bob; and children, David, Helen, John, Joe and their families; mother, Elmoyne Hanks (102 years); brothers, George and Dean Hansen and their families; and the children and families of her stepfather, the late Ted V. Hanks.
A gifted R.N., New York published novelist (young adult science fiction), gospel song and prose writer, along with assorted church callings from the Cub Scouts, Primary, Mutual, Relief Society - even a general class radio operator (N7WYH now called a "Silent-Key") in the churches short-wave program - all while managing an oft-times difficult husband whose employment kept him out of town the better part of more than 20 years.
Always learning, she was salutatorian of her class at Driggs High School and had three years additional academics after completing R.N. training and thousands of hours of writing studies, which in fruition helped her provide total support of her four children on missions for the Church of Jesus Christ.
