Jane Elizabeth Haugen Hanson, 93, died January 26, 2010 at home surrounded by members of her family. The immediate cause of death was cancer of the colon.
She was born in Chicago on October 31, 1916 to Sybil Kjersti Ylvisaker and the Reverend Clarence Ivar Haugen. Her father was pastor of the Lake View Lutheran Church, Chicago, from 1915 to 1918. He was then called to St. Stephen's church in Canby MN where Jane and her younger sister, Margaret, grew up. After graduating Valedictorian from Canby High School, she returned to Chicago to attend Lake Forest College for the year 1935-1936, and then transferred to Luther College, Decorah IA, the college which her father had attended. She majored in History, and in Latin and Greek, graduating summa cum laude in 1938.
It was while working in the Library at Luther that she met fellow student Kermit Hanson, whom she married in 1940. The wedding took place at First Lutheran Church in Decorah....
