Lois Hanna

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lois Hanna, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Born on February 4, 1939, in Portland, Oregon, Lois lived a life rich with love, laughter, and cherished memories before passing away on October 23, 2026. Lois was the beloved daughter of Albert and Pheobe Shuholm. She was predeceased by her parents, her brother Edward Shuholm, her sister Lavern Lancaster, and her dear partner Duane West. Her legacy continues through her son, John Hanna of Rosenberg, Texas, and her daughter, Michelle Lask and husband Robert of Alamogordo, New Mexico. Lois was the proud grandmother of Miranda Lask and partner Michael Curtis of Clermont, Florida, Kassidy Lask and partner Adam Garcia of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Dustin Lask of Alamogordo, New Mexico. She also leaves behind great-grandchildren Brelynn Hamberg of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Jaxon Lask of Alamogordo, New Mexico, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will miss her deeply. For many years, Lois worked as a dedicated Secretary at the High Speed Test Track at Holloman Air Force Base. Her meticulous work ethic and warm personality earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues and friends. Lois had a zest for life that was evident in her many passions. She found great joy in traveling to new places, tending to her garden, square dancing with friends, and cheering on her favorite football, basketball, and baseball teams. Her kind and gentle spirit, coupled with her sweet smile, left a mark on everyone she met. In honoring Lois’s wishes, no funeral ceremony will be held. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date, where family and friends can gather to share stories and memories of Lois’s remarkable life. In memory of Lois Hanna, the family kindly suggests that donations be made to the American Heart Association, an organization dear to her heart, based in Dallas, Texas. Lois Hanna touched the lives of many with her warmth and kindness. Her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her.
