As a caregiver until the age of 80 and homemaker, her long life revolved around the welfare of others. When her daughter-in-law suffered the tragic loss of her own mother, Hannah provided comfort and became a second mother to her. Hannah was a guiding light to everyone, her home a lighthouse. You knew that you could stop in anytime and she would make sure you had a hot meal and good conversation. When she knew you were safe, she was happy. When asked, her faith and her clean living were the secret to her longevity. Hannah and her husband Burley also ran the produce stand in Hickory for 15 years serving Harford county with pride.

Family and friends will honor and celebrate Hannah’s life at Bel Air, Memorial Gardens - 809 Rock Spring Rd, Bel Air, MD 21014, 11AM Friday, January 21st, 2022.
