Jane Hollenbeck Hansen, born March 4, 1927, passed away quietly in her home on Saturday, October 22, 2016.
Jane was born in Berkeley, CA even though her parents were Fresno residents and the Hollenbeck family was among the original settlers of Fresno dating back to the late 1840's. Jane was a graduate of Fresno Technical High School. She met her husband of 39 years, Robert A. Hansen, a United States Army Air Corp 2nd Lieutenant, while he was stationed in Fresno during WWII. They married while on a motorcycle run to the Bay Area in 1944 and remained in Fresno until the end of the war. After the war, Bob went to work for IBM and they were transferred to several different cities, returning to live in Fresno in 1956 where Bob opened his own business, Blackstone Electronics. They remained in Fresno to be near family and to raise their two children, Roger and Judi. During this time Jane worked at the Hacienda and later at PartyTips. Jane retired in 1970 and they began traveling. During this time they became friends with several "snow birds" and joined the seasonal migration between Arizona and Canada, settling in Arizona near her son Roger.
She was preceded in death by her husband Bob in 1983.
In 2004 Jane returned to Fresno to spend the remainder of her days with her family here and her daughter Judi. Jane is survived by her son, Roger Hansen; daughter, Judi Rush and her husband, Ken; six grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
A Graveside Service will be held at Belmont Memorial Park on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. Remembrances may be made to the Poverello House in Fresno. Whitehurst, Sullivan, Burns & Blair Funeral Home, 1525 East Saginaw Way, Fresno, California.
