Beverly Ann Hansen

Beverly Ann Hansen Born on December 12, 1941 in California, she was the first child of Eli Gourdin McCluskey and Beverly James McCluskey. She married Elden Deon Hansen on September 4, 1959. Love for each other, and hard work, were the foundation of their young family. Their early years of marriage were full of joy as they welcomed children in to their home. They were blessed with 2 daughters, Shirley (Michael) Scott and Mary (Glenn) Williams. They were later able to adopt 3 children: Robert Hansen, Jerry Hansen, and Annie Hansen. Jacobi Jordan has also been a part of the family since he was an infant. She was blessed with 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Beverly served in the Relief Society, Young Women and Primary throughout her life. As a young mother, she sang with the Relief Society Women’s Choir for many years. Living close to family was a source of joy as they raised their family, and as they watched their children grow and start families of their own. She loved working with children, and shared that love with over 100 children as a foster parent. Family was always a priority, and she always found joy in watching performances and celebrated achievements of those she loved. Her talents were many, and she shared her love for home and family with many under her influence. She taught others to cook, sew, and crochet, and she loved learning new craft skills. She was known for her homemade thoughtful gifts, and annual Christmas Ornament making. Beverly and Deon were blessed for many years to live near their grandchildren and then great-grandchildren. For the years that they lived in Las Vegas, she was the welcome stopping place for many a traveler. She knew the magic of making a meal feed unexpected dinner guests and always made visitors feel welcomed. She was also blessed to be able to travel, and especially enjoyed her trips making memories across oceans, from Europe to Hawaii, with her son-in-law Glenn. As she learned of her advanced pancreatic cancer, she was at peace with the limited time she would have, and asked that all who came to visit be happy and positive, thereby filling her days with love and joy as memories were shared. She enjoyed the company of friends and family that she loved so much. She brought peace and love into the lives of so many as she gracefully prepared for the end of her mortal journey. Her strong faith and sure knowledge of the eternal nature of families was evident throughout her life, and was shared most tenderly during visits with loved ones. Her earthly journey ended on December 12, 2017 surrounded by those she loved, in the comfort of her own home. The family would like to thank Intermountain Hospice for the loving care and support they provided, with special thanks to Ruth and Brittany. She was preceded in death by her parents, Chase Scott (grandson), and Katherine Robinson (sister).
