Clara Emogene "Jean" Davis Hansen

Clara Emogene “Jean” Davis Hansen, our beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away in her home at age 91 on January 6, 2025. She was born on October 17, 1933, in Lesslie, South Carolina, to James C. and Clara Irene Player Davis and was the fifth of nine children. Jean had a love for music and began studying the violin at a young age. Her fun personality, quick wit, and listening ear endeared her to many people throughout her life.

She married her beloved companion of 71 years, Lynn B. Hansen, on May 29, 1953. Elder LeGrand Richards performed their marriage and sealing in the Salt Lake Temple. They made their home in Bountiful and later moved to South Weber, Utah. They are the parents of five children, 25 grandchildren, 89 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Her family was the highlight of her life, and she loved spending time with them.

She had a strong testimony of the gospel and faithfully served in many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, particularly sharing her talent and love of music as a ward chorister and choir director for nearly 50 years. In her later years, she enjoyed serving as an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple with her eternal companion. 

She is survived by her beloved husband; sons and daughters—Diane (Daryl) Peterson, Bountiful; Sherrie (Jim) Bangerter, Spanish Fork; Paul (Jody) Hansen, Rexburg, ID; Saundra (Jeff) Anderson, Bountiful; and Alan (Lisa) Hansen, Provo. Siblings—Miriam Martin, William (Lia) Davis, and Wayne (Annette) Davis.

The family will forever remember dad’s example of charitable love and devotion as he tirelessly cared for mom in her declining years. They also wish to thank Marci and Tim, who assisted Lynn in caring for his sweetheart in her final days. 

Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the South Weber Stake Center, 7989 South 2250 East, South Weber, Utah. A viewing will be held prior to services from 10:30--11:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Bountiful City Cemetery.
