Hannah came to Fort Macleod in 1945 to visit her brother who was stationed with the airforce and met the love of her life, Jack, who was with the army also stationed in Fort Macleod.
Hannah spent most of her life in Fort Macleod until failing health forced her to move to assisted living facilities in Lethbridge; first at Blue Sky Lodge and the last six years under the wonderful care at the Park Meadows Good Samaritan Village.
Hannah was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary for 60 years.
