Louise Morgan Hanson, 85, passed away Dec. 17, 2017 in Las Vegas,
Neveda after a fall in her home in Lake Havasu City from which she
never recovered.

Louise was born to Richard and Stella Morgan on Sept. 17, 1932 in
Willow Springs, Missouri. Her parents moved to southern Idaho in 1935,
where they continued to farm.

Louise always said she did not want an ordinary life. She wanted
adventure in it and this desire came to pass. She loved to travel and
went many places during her married years. Many trips were made to
Alaska via the Alaska Highway, Hawaii, and sailing to Vancouver
Island, British Columbia, Canada.

She graduated from high school in Filer, Idaho and immediately moved
to Salt Lake City, Utah.

She attended business school and supported herself by being a nanny to
three little girls.

Her adventures continued. She joined her husband during his technical
training in California. Louise worked as a secretary and lab
technician, earned a Bachelor of Science degree, worked as a volunteer
tour guide for children and lived aboard a sailboat, cruising in
Mexican waters for several years. After an auto accident in 2000, she
and her husband moved to Lake Havasu City, where they remained for the
last 17 years.

Louise was a very talented seamstress. She always maintained if it
could be done on a sewing machine, she could do it. Her projects were
wide-ranging, from making and repairing sails to making her daughter's
wedding dress.

Louise is survived by her husband of 65 years, Allen Hanson, daughter
Diane Hanson Lulich, son-in-law Ted Lulich, three grandchildren: Kent,
Aaron and Jessa, and twin brothers Richard William Morgan Jr. and
Jessie Frank Morgan.

A memorial service is at a later date.
