Elna Hansen

On August 20, 2010, Elna Hansen left us to rejoin her beloved Ejgil and Henning. She was born in Denmark on June 3, 1922. On August 31, 1946, she married Ejgil Hansen and they had one son Henning. They moved to the Twin Falls, Idaho area in 1953 where they farmed for several years. They later moved to Pocatello, where Ejgil worked as an accountant and Elna worked for Peterson Furniture as a secretary. They moved to Idaho Falls in the early 1970?s when Ejgil retired. Elna worked for the John Deere heavy equipment dealership for several years, and after retirement, she and Ejgil moved to Palisades, Idaho. They spent several winters in Quartzsite, AZ with their ?snowbird? friends. After Ejgil passed away, Elna moved back to Idaho Falls to be near her older grandsons, then later moved to Utah in 2004 to be near her son and younger grandchildren. Elna enjoyed knitting, camping, fishing, and cooking Danish recipes for her family and friends.
Elna is survived by 4 grandchildren, Dan and Eric Hansen mom- Lynne Hansen Whiting, and Brian and Marianne Hansen mom- Mary Blaylock Hansen.
Elna will be missed by all who knew her. We invite you to join us in celebrating her life at her memorial service, Sunday, September 5th at 2:00 p.m. at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
