Anita HANNEN Obituary

A bright and lovely lady I met at the pool.. interested in everyone and a smile to light rooms x

Thoughts to you all. We always enjoyed having a chat to Anita on the sidelines of a sports court.
she always had a bit of a laugh and smile.

To Andrea, Mike and extended family. Thinking if you all with deepest sympathy for your loss. Cherish your memories forever.

My deepest sympathy to Anita´s family.
Anita was a Blessing to so many. She had so much love to share with all who knew her.
It is an honour to have known her and Lynn since the 70´s. Anita was a kind considerate, supportive and a very caring neighbour to my late husband Tony McNally when they were in Locking St.
You will miss greatly her but what a legacy of love she has left her family.
RIP Anita in Jesus´s arms.
Jana and the McNally Family

To the family and extended family of Anita We send our condolences to you all. What a beautiful lady she was. I have fond memories of her when she was at AOG church. You are now with your Lynn in the arms of our dear lord.

Deepest sympathy to all Anita's family.
Sorry was unable to attend her service. Will watch the Livestream.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Fond memories from many years ago on and off the basketball court. I played for Southland against and with Anita in South Island teams. A lovely sporting sincere person. Anne Spencer (nee Sinclair)

The world has lost a beautiful, kind, caring human being. Such a lovely lady, fond memories always.
Sympathy to all the Hannen clan. With our love Jon & Lynne Alexandra

To Andrea Mike and family. So sorry to hear about your Mum, thinking of you all, take care. Love Phill Jill Jessica Alan Osca Katie and Tide

Such a wonderful caring lady! We were lucky enough to live near the Hannen's during a period when we, were struggling financially. Anita ( who had worked with my Mum at Knapps many years ago) was SO kind to us. She was always ringing saying Lynn had been to the market and got this or that... boxes of bananas etc which she seemed to share generously with many Kawai St/Locking St locals. She also had us added to a list at "Granny Scott's Bakery" where they rang at 5pm and you had until 5.30 to drive down and pick up all their leftover"goodies" which we then froze for the kids school lunches. I remember my eldest two boys ( now 50) having tea at Hannens one night and coming home raving about a yellow vegetable Anita had served. I phoned to sort the mystery. Swede - which I love but Sean wont eat, so I'd not cooked it for them. It very soon became a staple! I'm so sorry that we aren't able to attend Anita's service tomorrow, as I'd have loved to have caught up with you all but we will be there in spirit, as we will watch the livestream and we will always think very kindly of your family, Anita especially.

Fond memories of an amazing very giving lady.
My condolences to the family.

Sending condolences to all Anita's family.
Loved our chats when we caught up at Cave Creek meetings.
RIP Anita. xxx Marilyn

Sending love and sincere condolences to Anita's whanau. To me Anita was a generous and caring leader, mentor and friend. I have many fond memories of the times we spent together in the basketball and church communities.

Beautiful Anita, forever with Jesus, her Lord. A great blessing to many including our family. Love from Sydney Australia. Earl and Rosslyn Wing and family.

My sincere condolences to Lynley and family. The world has lost a wonderful woman. May she always be smiling while she cycles through your dreams. Kind regards, Gabrielle Stent (Heinz).
