Hanna Ivory Wetmore passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by loved ones, on December 6, 2017. Her life was devoted to family, music, and her strong faith.
She played the cello in the Colorado Springs Orchestra, the Jay Welch Orchestra & Chorus, and the Salt Lake Symphony. Hanna also worked as a secretary in law firms and spent over thirty years working at the Upper Colorado River Commission.
Hanna was born in Fountain Green to sheep rancher Royal Ivory and schoolteacher Ruby Madsen. She went to Moroni High School and attended BYU as a music major.
In 1943, she married Carl Frederick Wetmore, an Air Force man, and their growing family lived in far-flung regions from Alaska to Florida before Hanna and her children settled back in Salt Lake City.
Hanna is survived by her children, Diane Kotowski (Bob), Susan Carrington (Skip), Hugh Wetmore (Liz), and Lois Ann Wetmore (Julie Marston); along with six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her beloved sister, Lois Hansen, preceded her in death.
Family and friends will remember Hanna as a dedicated teacher and supporter who fiercely believed in the goodness of all people. Proud of her pioneer heritage, she was a devoted member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
A funeral service will be held on Monday, December 11, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the Colonial Hills Ward Chapel, 1455 South 1700 East, Salt Lake City.
