JoAnn Camarda Hanson

She was born in Houston in 1933 attending Immaculate Conception School, St. Agnes Academy and the University of St Thomas, where she met her future husband, John Hanson. They were married 63 years and raised their children, Eric, Leah, Chris, Julie and Gena. She worked for 40 years at National Tile and Terrazzo and when the children were grown they moved to Galveston, and then Pearland. John and JoAnn traveled and took several cruises and made regular trips to the casino. They remained married until his death in 2017.

JoAnn loved crossword puzzles, the harder the better, and would watch Jeopardy! and get all the answers right. She was an avid reader of British mysteries and enjoyed playing bridge with her friends.

She is survived by her children and their spouses Becky Hanson, Greg Lucero, Greg Dornak and Randy Holmes. She was very close to them who loved and treated her as if she was their own mother.

She is also survived by her grandchildren, David and Lauren Lucero, Andrew, Daniel and Thomas Hanson, Sarah Carraway, Seth Dornak, Conor Hanson, Bradley and Mathew Holmes. She is also survived by her great grandchildren, Cole, Bella and Eva Lucero, Anna and Charlotte Carraway, and Shepherd Dornak.
