Sally Ann Allen Hansen, 91, passed away peacefully, January 24, 2015 in Draper. She was born December 18, 1923 in Buffalo, New York, to Homer and Ethel Hewson Allen. They later moved to Pasadena, California where she spent most of her adolescent years.
After high school Sally attended UCLA where she played in the band and on the tennis team. During WWII she worked with the USO providing entertainment for the soldiers. One night after performing she headed to a dance with some friends where she happened to meet a very handsome young man by the name of George Scott Hansen. They later married on December 27, 1944 in Salt Lake City. They lived in Richfield for 60 years. He preceded her in death October 7, 2002.
Sally was a lady of many talents and a jack-of all trades! She will be remembered for her Sunday morning story times and house hold tips on the radio, for the many years she taught piano and voice lessons, the years she played piano for the ward Primary, working at Ashman Elementary as a 5 th grade aide, various plays and singing groups she participated in throughout the years, bowling team, golf, tennis, 55 plus years of Tuesday morning bridge club, and last but certainly not least, her contagious laugh and famous witches cackle!
Sally loved the ocean and traveling. She was always up for a good time!
Words cannot express the impact this beautiful lady has had on all of our lives! Her legacy lives on through her family as we follow her example of living life to the fullest! We will forever cherish the many memories we’ve had with "Silly Sally" our "Grandma Giggles"!
