Barbara "cat" (gervais) Hanson Obituary (1948 - 2024)

Graduation Year Class of 1966
Date of Birth Mar 13, 1948
Date of Passing Nov 08, 2024
About Barbara 'Cat' Hanson grew up in Easton and Yakima, Washington, and was a proud daughter of her darling daddy, Rueben Gervais. She came from humble beginnings but was able to achieve much. Cat felt a connection with everything in God's world and she expects to be greeted by a stampede of all her former pets! She always said if her pets weren't in Heaven, she wasn't going there. Cat was a woman of many interests and eager to experience all she could throughout her life. She was passionate, sensitive and endlessly curious about the world.

Cat is survived by her husband, Jim Hanson and her Norwegian Forest cat Oliveribex Featherdime.

Cat was preceded in death by countless family members, friends and beloved pets, too many to mention, some of which were dearly loved and missed.

Memorial contributions made in Cat's memory should be given to the Humane Society, SPOT, Noah, the Cat's Meow, in Anacortes or any worthy animal care center. Critters were her most tender spot. She would say that animals were God's best gift to the world.

Cat will be buried at Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, overlooking the valley she loved. Share your memories of Cat and sign the online guest register at www.lemleychapel.com.
