Mary was a proud member of both the Osage and Cherokee Nations. She was a skilled artisan who enjoyed working in ceramics, needlework and beadwork, as well as other arts and crafts. She had spent her youth and her early adulthood in Osage County with her Harvey cousins as her best friends. She still spoke of them when she was ill and wanted to talk about her younger life.
Mary was known for her rich sense of humor, and her love of life on a day to day level. She always said to not carry "baggage" into the next day.
Mary SueAnn Hanson passed away on Sunday, December 28, 2008 in Claremore, OK. She was 80 years old at the time of her passing. She was preceded in death by her parents, by her husband, Henry Hanson, and by her oldest daughter, Linda Lower.
