Alma Hansen was born on November 24, 1903, in Skagen, Denmark. She died February 19, 1999 at Crowell Home in Blair, Ne.
Alma was the second child of Peter and Marie Jorgensen, who brought their family to America in 1904.

When they retired from farming, they purchased an acreage on north 25th Street in Blair, just below the Dana campus.

Before her eye sight began to fail, she loved doing handiwork and quilting. Alma was proud of her Danish heritage and kept it alive by preparing Danish food and telling Danish stories and history as she remembered it. She was active in her Christian church life in the Lutheran and Methodist churches. After Alma sold her home, she moved to Crowell Home. Alma was preceded in death by her husband, N.J. "Tony" Hansen, her parents, four brothers and half brothers and half sisters. She is survived byt two sisters: Helen Walker (Blair, Ne) and Bertha Scheer (Rantoul, Ill.); one brother, Maurice Jorgensen (Osage, Iowa) and many nieces and nephews.
