Hasting's Reminder - Saturday June 26, 2021

Toby Lynn Hanson

Toby Lynn Hanson went to be with her Lord after an extended battle with cancer 
on June 24, 2021.

She was born August 23, 1939 to Paul Sauers and Donna Sauers-Besko (Both 
deceased).

She is lovingly remembered by her husband, William (Bill) Hanson; her four 
surviving children, Kelli (Kevin) Matteson, Holly (Michael) Trubiroha, Mich., 
Michael (Candi) Hanson and Heidi Hanson-Maier. She is also survived by 
siblings,Monte Sauers, Dennis (Barbara) Sauers, Sonja (Mark) Latz, and Dirk 
(Kay) Besko. She has 13 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren (one deceased) and 
two great-great grandchildren.

Her love for the Lord came in a senior high school trip to New York in 1957.She 
went to the Billy Graham Madison Square Garden Crusade and committed her life to 
Christ at this time. A dear classmate friend, Joan Richardson Hunt, encouraged 
her to see Billy Graham instead of going to a nightclub. This event would change 
her life forever.

She married Bill on March 15, 1958 and lived in Lake Odessa and later moved to 
Clarksville. They attended the Clarksville Bible Church and received 
discipleship and guidance from Pastor Don and Betty Jo Mathis. Toby grew in her 
Faith and was a strong influence in Bill coming to know the Lord in 1964. Later  
his job brought them to Wayland in 1967. Here they attended and served in 
Calvary Church of Wayland.

Toby worked at Town and Country and Sandy Creek Nursing Home where she and Bill 
encouraged and ministered to the elderly.

Her great joys in life were her family, studying her Bible and memorizing 
scripture, baking (especially her cookies), writing notes of encouragement, and 
all things domestic. She made each person in her life feel important and loved. 
She had the gift of making every house a home for her family. She will be 
greatly missed!

Friends and family are invited to join in a celebration of Toby's life on 
Saturday July 10, 2021 at Calvary Church of Wayland, 304 S.Man, Wayland, Mi 
49348 at 11 a.m. There will be a visitation one-hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be given to Wings of Hope 
Hospice in Allegan, Mi. @www.wingsofhopehospice.com or Calvary Church of Wayland 
@ccwayland.org.

Isaiah 41110 - Don't be afraid, for ai am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I 
am your God. I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my 
victorious right hand.
