Josette Hanson, 59

My dear wife, Josette Michelle Hanson, went home to the Lord on Saturday, June 1. Josette was an avid gardener and loved her children and grandchildren deeply. When she left this world, she was surrounded by those who loved her most. 

She was preceded in death by her mother, Joseanne Gregior, her son, Levi Elon Hanson, and her stepdaughter, Kara Maurine Hanson. 

Josette was survived by her father, David Byron Bateman, husband Robert Bradford Hanson, sister Annette, brother Thierry Chauvet, sons Jason (Stacy) Gimlin and David (Bobby) Hanson, stepson Robert Hanson, stepdaughter Hope (Jason) Mickelson and grandchildren Mitchell Byers, Hayden Mickelson, Brock Hanson, Chace Gimlin, Caden Gimlin, Kendrah Hanson and Levi Hanson. 

Josette will be missed greatly, but the things she taught us will not be lost. 

There will be a celebration of life June 22 at noon at Grace Bible Church on the corner of Northshore and Jorgens Road in Diamond Lake. This will be a potluck, so bring your memories and your favorite dish as we celebrate knowing Josette.

Sherman-Campbell Funeral Home in Newport, Wash., is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are welcome to visit their website at www.shermancampbell.com.
