Marybelle Hanke

Marybelle is survived by her brother, Elmer Snyder of Delhi, California; her children, Roberta Ruiz, Debbie Meza, Butch Hanke, and Jackie Herbin; along with 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren, and countless other family members and friends who loved her dearly.

Marybelle raised her family in Chula Vista, California, where she created a warm and loving home filled with laughter, good food, and cherished memories. After selling her home, she spent 12 wonderful years traveling—exploring new places and enjoying life to the fullest. She later settled in Sun City, where she lived happily for 18 years.

Marybelle had a passion for gardening, birdwatching, and traveling. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and she always made it a magical time for everyone. Known for her delicious cooking and her generous heart, Marybelle made everyone feel welcome at her table.

Her legacy of love, kindness, and joy will continue to live on through the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
