Hanson, Helen Eleanore (Turnbough)
Age 85, passed from this world on July 20, 2024 with great rejoicing to be with the Lord. She was born on January 10, 1939 to Truffie and Ida Mae Turnbough. On June 6, 1954, Helen married Duaine Daniel Francis Hanson and they resided in South County St. Louis.
Together they raised 3 children: David, Daniel (Carol) and Theresa. Their grandchildren are: David Jr. (Rachel), Tabitha (John), Jeremiah (Erin), Amanda (Zachary), David (Bethany), Joshua and Jacob. Their great-grandchildren are: Ava, Lena, Michael, Daniel, Joseph, Izaiah, Miley, Jackson, Lillien, Abriel, Eleanor, Oliver, Camden, Blake, Abbey, and Brody.
Helen was proud of her role as the Pastor’s wife. She supported Duaine in the ministry through playing the piano for services, teaching Sunday School and leading children’s church. She loved her family and spending time with them. She also loved to travel to various places, including Disney World and Washington DC.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her 12 siblings: Beulah, Addie, Lewis, Albert, Lawrence, Ona, Earld, Sylvia, Delores, Eunice, Merlin, and Barbara, and her daughter-in-law, Linda Hanson.
The funeral will be held on Friday, July 26 at 10:00 in the morning at Kutis Funeral Home on Lemay Ferry. The visitation will be held on Thursday, July 25 from 4 pm-8pm. Interment will be at the Mount Hope Cemetery.
My condolences goes to the family and loved ones from Helen.
25 years ago I first met Helen and Duaine by their granddaughter Tabitha. In that year (1998-1999) that I stayed in the USA we spend a lot of fun time at their house with lots of music and blue wigs 🙂
I am thankful that I got to visit Helen again last year. Wish I could be there to give my dear friend a shoulder to cry on.
My prayers are with you!
