Passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 25, 2018, age 54. Dear sister of Robert (Kathleen Bennett), Edward, Rosanne and Karen Hanus. Long-time employee of Attorney James Finn.
Marie Therese Hanus passed away surrounded by her loving family after a sudden, unexpected illness. Taken from this life quickly and so very early, she joined her parents Robert and Therese in heaven on November 25, 2018.
Marie is survived by her siblings Robert (Kathleen Bennett), Edward, Rosanne, and Karen Hanus. She is also survived by her niece Renee (Matt) Taft, and her nephews Duncan (Cassy Turner), Ian (Alexa Stuff) and Griffin Bennett. She was the dearest great-aunt of Christian Taft, Teagan Bennett, and Mackenzie Bennett. She will be missed by her friends Laurie Zimmerman and her mother Barbara, Deb Denninger, and Christine Kritner. Marie was a long-time, devoted employee of Attorney James H. Finn III. She will be greatly missed by countless other family and friends.
Marie was our creative soul. She was a crafter and enjoyed many hobbies including weaving baskets, decorating gourds, and creating paper crafts. When she wasn’t crafting, she was often playing games with her sisters and friends or celebrating with family. As a middle child, Marie was the level-headed one, the negotiator, and the peacekeeper. She was the glue in our family.
The family has received the greatest support, caring, and friendship during this difficult time and we thank all of you.
