Maymie Marie Hansen-Kanon passed peacefully in her home on April 25th, 2022 surrounded with love.
Maymie was born April 28th, of 1931 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to her parents Albert S. Hansen and Edna May Hendstrom-Hansen. She married the love of her life Ralph Kanon, on July 27th, 1956.
Maymie served an LDS mission in Stockholm, Sweden in 1951-1953. She loved camping, sewing, singing, and crafting. You could often find her gardening, and enjoying the hummingbirds. She adored spending time with her family, and watching her grandchildren grow. Maymie especially loved holding hands with her sweetheart, whether you found them on the porch, or in their recliners. Maymie was a big-hearted soul, who always had sweet words to share with anyone and everyone.
Our sweet Maymie is survived by her 5 children: Ralph (Deniece), John (Diane), Mary, David, and Steven, her 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild due in October. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ralph, her parents, Albert and Edna, her brothers, Donald and Albert Hansen, her sisters, Joyce Cooley, and Lois Gordon, and many nieces and nephews she loved dearly.
