It has been a great journey in spite of many physical ailments including tuberculosis, a collapsed lung, a brain tumor and a heart condition. Thank goodness I was blessed with a great sense of humor. I was born in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, December 18, 1930. My parents are Ruby Conlin and Joseph Earl Pollard and I have 2 younger brothers, Ronald and Gordon. All of them preceded me to Heaven. I moved to Utah in 1953 and married Jay M Hansen, June 25, 1954 in the Logan Temple. I love chocolate, shopping, staying in motels, little children, Halloween, winters in St George, visiting rest homes, and helping the elderly. I am a proud Canadian. I served in many positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints including Relief Society President, many years in the Jr. Sunday School and as a missionary to the Liberty Stake in Salt Lake. I was blessed with 5 wonderful children: Trudy, Mark, Bonnie, David and Paul, as well as 17 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. My best friend is Marion Child from Caldwell, ID who moved with me from Canada. I am so grateful to Mary Schneider my caregiver and friend. My epitaph will read, "I told you I was sick." My funeral services will be held at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary (3401 S Highland Dr.) on Saturday, January 26th at 2:00pm (visitation to start at 12:30) followed by graveside services.
