Our beloved father and grandfather, Alma Wayment Hansen, age 96, passed away peacefully at the home of his daughter, Joyce Fenner, on December 13, 2002, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He was born August 16, 1906, in Warren, Weber County, Utah, to Louis A.and Martha Ann Wayment Hansen; the fourth child in a family of twelve children.

Alma graduated from Brigham Young High School then went on to earn both a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Science Degree from Brigham Young University. He married Martha Muirbrook on January 5, 1933, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They had three children.

As a lifelong educator and learner, he taught in the Junior High Schools of the Weber County School District for three decades. As a teacher of history and civics, he lived what he taught by participating in local and state politics, community activities, and educational organizations. Music was a major part of his life. His singing was enjoyed by many as he performed solos at many functions. In addition, he was a member of many church choirs, quartets, and the Ogden Choral, and most recently the Tri-Valley Singles Choir. He had leads in musicals at both church and college. He enjoyed playing the violin, piano, and especially the harmonica, which he played whenever the opportunity presented itself. He had a passion for baseball and played all positions, including being an umpire. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in many callings that included missionary work, youth leadership, teacher, music director, Bishop, temple worker, and a faithful home teacher for 80 years. He and his wife wrote family histories and served as family genealogists for many years. His love of traveling took him to many places in Europe, Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Canada, and the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.

He is survived by his children: sons, Garth (Janice) Hansen, of Prescott, Arizona; Reed (Julie) Hansen, of Vernal, Utah; daughter Joyce (Don) Fenner, Salt Lake City, Utah; three brothers: Levi J. Hansen, Orvel J. Hansen, and Edward J. Hansen, all of Ogden, Utah; 16 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, December 21, 2002, at 1:00 p.m. at the Ogden Third Ward, located on the corner of 15th Street and Washington Blvd, Ogden, Utah, where friends may call from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the church prior to the services.

The Family would like to greet friends and relatives in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 South 2300 East. Interment will be in the Ogden City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Holbrook Mortuary, Salt Lake. In lieu of flowers, a donation in his honor may be made to the Perpetual Education Fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 50 East North Temple, 9th Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84150-1501.
