Joyce A. Hanson

A lifelong Duluth resident, Joyce was born to Harvey and Ruth Hanson on February 2, 1945. Joyce was deeply connected to her community, proud of her Scandinavian heritage and of her Northern Minnesota roots. While Joyce excelled in her work with the offices of Catholic Charities, she was an artist at heart, bringing her creative spirit to her love of photography, painting, drawing and ceramics. Joyce was also a doting grandmother and a generous soul, devoted to those around her.

Joyce’s memory will always be cherished by her loving son, Michael; daughter-in-law, Jennifer; granddaughters, Claire and Greta; sister, Virginia; brothers, James and Harold, and by her many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 31 at Bell Brothers Funeral Home, 601 North 56th Avenue West, with funeral services at 11 a.m. in the Bell Brothers Chapel. Interment will be at Oneota Cemetery. Memorials in Joyce’s name may be directed to the American Cancer Society, 130 W. Superior Street, LL@, Suite 200, Duluth, MN 55802.
