Marian Bailey Hansen

  Funeral services for Marian Bailey Hansen, 95, of Galveston,
Texas, were held at 10 a.m., Monday, April 28, 1997, at Carnes
Brothers Funeral Home Chapel in Galveston, Texas.

  The Rev. Grayson Glass, and Marian's grandson, the Rev. John
Berry officiated.

  Mrs. Hansen was born January 30, 1902, in Montgomery, Texas, to
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bailey Sr. As a young teen, she moved to
Galveston, Texas, and married Theodore F. Hansen. They were
blessed with one daughter, Dora Lee.

  Mrs. Hansen was a member of the D.A.R. Margaret Montgomery
Chapter of Conroe, Texas, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute,
and a member of First Baptist Church of Galveston.

  She devoted her life to the Lord, and took advantage of every
opportunity to teach God's word. She taught Sunday School, the
Fedelis class, Chapel Bible Study, G.A.'s, and many home Bible
studies.

  Known for her kind and generous spirit, she always reached out
to those in need.

  To her grandchildren, she was known as "Granny", and they loved
to hear her sing and tell old stories.

  Mrs. Hansen moved to Pleasant Hill, and spent the last years of
her life near her daughter and grandchildren.

  She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, and
grandmother, whose priority was serving the Lord.

  She was preceded in death by her parents; five sisters; two
brothers; and her husband, Captain Theo F. Hansen. She is
survived by her daughter, Dora Lee Peacock and husband Willard
Wayne of Pleasant Hill; seven grandchildren; 16 great
grandchildren; and a host of relatives, and friends.

  The family would like to thank the staff of North Sabine Nursing
Home for their kindness, love, and compassion.
