Biography

Helen Marie (Tammi) Hanson was received into Heaven by her late husband Fred and eldest son Fred Jr. (Freddie) after passing away peacefully Dec. 29, 2010 at her residence in Bend.

Helen was born to August and Hilda (Jaakola) Tammi Oct.17, 1925 in Perch Lake Township, Minn. On June 26, 1942 Helen was united in marriage to Fredrick (Fred) A. Hanson in Littlefork, Minn.

After moving to Oregon in 1950, Helen and Fred lived in Nehalem, Eugene, Roseburg, and Klamath Falls, and of late Bend. Fred's work as a professional scouter for the Boy Scouts of America provided many opportunities for the family to meet new people, make new friends, have many once in a lifetime experiences plus live in many beautiful parts of Oregon.

Helen (Mom) is survived by her brother Bill Tammi of Arizona, Sister Lempi Shea of Deer Park Washington, son Richard and wife Georgie of Bend, son Larry and wife Tina of Klamath Falls, and daughter Rae Marie and husband Jack Piazzini of Rogue River, Oregon. Mom is also survived by seven grandchildren: Monica and Niki Hanson; Jeremy and Sean Hanson; John, Michael and Angela Piazzini; three great grandchildren: Chace Hanson-Koth; Kai and Ryker Hanson-Dodson. Mom was preceded in death by husband Fredrick A. Hanson, son Fredrick A. Hanson Jr., granddaughter Sara Piazzini, and great grandsons Beckham and Aksel Hanson-Dodson.

Mom was especially fond of animals, all animals. Her home was a haven for any stray, injured, lost, or abandoned animal of any type, size, and breed, feathered or furry. If an animal needed help it was Helen to the rescue. From raising Penelope a baby black tail deer (with permission from the Fish and Game Commission), rescuing a starving baby starling, to the countless number of dogs, cats and chickens, all were given a home with lots of love and attention. Thanks go to all of Mom's friends and neighbors for your kindness, help, and understanding of her desire to care for all animals in need. We as family members always knew Mom could "talk to the animals". ps- we were not always sure some of the animals were "strays" or "abandoned".

Family rather than self always came first. Thank you Mom for all your love, understanding, and self sacrifices you made in our behalf. Our love for you is everlasting.

At Moms request cremation was immediate and no services are to be held. Her ashes will be buried in the family plot next to Fred and Freddie in the Nehalem American Legion Cemetery Nehalem, Oregon.
