Diane Hanson

Diane “Dee” Carol Hanson (Kenyon), 74, of Wolf Point died Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024, in Phoenix, Ariz.

She was born June 8, 1950, in Erie, Pa., to Mary Ann Butler and the late William E. Kenyon Sr. She was a proud graduate of Alhambra High School where she excelled in tennis. After high school, she eloped with Lonnie Bradley and, during their 18-year marriage, raised two children, Lindee and Chad. She worked for Enron for 18 years and, in her travels for the company, she met and later married Dale Hanson of Wolf Point on Dec. 20, 1999.

She owned and ran three restaurants in her lifetime and loved Montana and the friends she had here. She retired after six years as the aging coordinator from the Roosevelt County Aging Services in 2015. She was always full of life and loved big. Her generous heart and contagious laugh always left the ones around her with a smile. She enjoyed fishing, camping, slot machines and spending as much time as she could with her grandchildren and great-grandchild.
