Annette Hyer Hansen
January 1, 1936 - November 30, 2022 (age 86)
Annette Hyer Hansen was born in Logan, Utah on New Year's Day 1936 to Ira Hyer and VaLeria Leavitt Hyer as the youngest of their eight children. Surrounded by loved ones on both sides of the veil she passed away peacefully at home in Cedar City, Utah on November 30, 2022. Annette experienced an idyllic life on the Hyer Farm in Lewiston, Utah where she enjoyed the constant companionship of her large extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. One of her many accomplishments during this time of life was being named the Lewiston Rodeo Queen.
While she was still a student at North Cache High School, Annette met Sheridan Hansen from the neighboring farming community of Amalga. Their courtship, marriage, and devotion to each other for the past seventy years is the perfect example of how this should be done. It's only fitting that Mom and Dad were selected to be the 2022 Grand Marshals of the Iron County Fair. When Dad was able to get permission to leave his Army duty post for a few days, he and Mom were married on December 23, 1953 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. Annette was able to graduate early from high school and join her new husband at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Washington. This established a pattern for the next chapter of her life. Annette always supported Sheridan in his professional career, uprooting her life several times to establish homes in Logan, UT, Richfield, UT, Monticello, UT, Burley, ID, and Battle Mountain, NV. The last of these relocations in 1979 brought their family to Cedar City, UT. Dad's work often took him away from home when the family was young, leaving Mom to manage on her own.
Wherever she lived our mom made positive contributions to these communities. She never met a stranger and collected lifelong friends in each of these locations. She was an active member of such organizations as; The Jaycettes, Lions/Lady Lions, Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, Independence Day Committee, PTA, and many others. Some of her favorite hobbies were sewing, crocheting, and collecting dolls. The quality and scope of her doll collection is truly amazing! Mom's favorite job was that of a wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. She was a very successful "Avon Lady" and she also worked as a florist for fifty years. Mom especially enjoyed the many years she spent working with the Jolley Family at "Zion Sun Floral".
Our Mother has a fervent testimony of Jesus Christ and of the restored gospel, which she taught her family. She served devotedly and tirelessly in all of her church callings, from Primary Teacher to Relief Society President. Mom loved family history and regularly shared stories of our pioneer heritage. She gathered and completed the temple work for many of her family members. She was a faithful visiting teacher her entire adult life.
Mom made Christmas magical for children and adults alike. She always had a beautiful flocked tree that was the centerpiece of her festively decorated home. All of the children were spellbound by Grandma's extensive collection of nutcrackers, Santas and miniature rocking horses. Special treats were prepared and freely shared. The decorations could never come down before her birthday. She loved this holiday and her favorite music genre was Christmas Music. She enjoyed the giving part, but Mom never tired of receiving another doll for Christmas!
If her kids or grandkids were involved in any activity near or far, it was almost assured that she would be there. Nothing was more important to her than her family. She also enjoyed the many trips with Sheridan, family, and friends throughout the country and around the world. When the family was young this entailed vacations every summer as a family in a pickup camper to various locations from Mexico to Canada. Some of Annette and Sheridan's memorable trips include going to pick Kris up at the conclusion of his mission in Ecuador, an RV tour through central Mexico, Hawaii, an Alaskan cruise, several trips to Midwest area antique tractor shows, and their trip of a lifetime to China. Another thing that Mom and Dad enjoyed together was watching Utah Jazz Basketball.
Annette was predeceased by her infant daughter, Lorie Hansen, son-in-law, Scott Lewis, her parents, her sisters; Hortense (infant) Hyer, Lydia Comish, and Rosalie Spackman Hancey. Also by her brothers; Wendell Hyer, Larry Hyer, and Andrew "Pug" Hyer. She is survived by her husband, Sheridan Hansen, children; Sheree Lewis of Orem, UT, Kip (Kayleen Dearden) Hansen of Richfield, UT, Julie (Roland) Williams of Cedar City, UT, KathiJo (Todd) Smith of Lehi, UT, and Kris (Shelly Baldwin) Hansen of Washington, UT. She is also survived by one sister, Ira Lu Stoddard, sister-in-law Colleen Hyer, brothers-in-law Keith Hansen and Dean (Relle) Hansen. Grandma is presently blessed with 17 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren with two more on the way.
We are so grateful for our dad and the loving care he has provided for our mom. We will miss Mom, but look forward to being reunited as an eternal family.
