Linda Ann Hansen Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Linda Ann Hansen, 58, of Wheaton, IL, passed away January 26, 2021. She was a committed, joyful follower of Jesus Christ. Those who knew her found her naturally warm and encouraging. Whether she had little or much she was always hospitable. She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her. Linda was born in Oakland, CA on January 28, 1962. She graduated from Wheaton College with a B.A. in Sociology, and graduated from the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences at Memphis with a B.A. in Nursing. But her considerable academic accomplishments were the least of her, and her heart the most. She did extensive volunteer work, most recently at Cornerstone Family Health in Lisle, IL. There she scheduled appointments and managed several other office functions during a time when other volunteers had to stay away because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some years prior, she worked for two years as a first and second grade teacher at a tutoring center for foreign children in China. She was married to her husband Bruce Hansen on August 1, 1987. She is preceded in death by her father, Dr. Kenneth Smith, and a brother, Jonathan Smith. She is survived by her husband; her mother, Marilyn Smith; children Caleb Hansen, Luke Hansen, Gracia Tennis, Amy Hansen, Rose Hansen, Andrew Hansen, Karsten Hansen; a son-in-law, Jeremy Tennis; and brothers, Dr. David Smith, Peter Smith, and Dr. Philip Smith. Memorials in Linda’s name can be made to Fairbluff Bible Chapel in Charlotte, NC, or Warrenville Bible Chapel in Warrenville, IL. A graveside service will be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday, January 28, 2021 at Forest Lawn East Cemetery, Matthews, NC. Heritage Funeral Home, Weddington Chapel, has charge.
