Nancy J Hans

Nancy Jean Hans (née Roth), 81, of Mobile, Alabama, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026. Born on May 8, 1945, in Wheeling, West Virginia, Nancy lived a life filled with love, dedication, and service to her family and community. Nancy was the beloved wife of Robert A. Hans. Together, they celebrated an extraordinary 61 years of marriage on June 26, 2026—a testament to their enduring partnership and devotion to one another. She is also survived by her children Fredrick Hans (Rosario) and Erica Petras (Ronald); her cherished grandchildren Michael Hans, Marcella (Brennan) Godin, Tia Dannemiller, Cara (Chad) Dannemiller, Nicole Petras, and Gina Petras; and her great-grandchildren Olivia, Rhett, Jaxon, Dani and Julian. Nancy’s family was the center of her world; she was so proud of each and every one of them. She also leaves behind her sister-in-law Jean Bruner; niece Ellen (Tarry) Padilla; and many others who were touched by her kindness and generosity. She was predeceased by her parents Richard and Dorothy Roth; her sister and brother-in-law Wayne and Margaret Liston; her mother- and father-in-law Charles and Pauline Hans; and step-granddaughter Amie Petras. Nancy spent her early years in Bellaire, Ohio, where she grew up on a farm that instilled in her a deep appreciation for the land and its bounty. After moving to Chardon, Ohio during her teenage years, she graduated from Chardon High School before embarking on a life dedicated to family and community. Robert and Nancy settled in East Claridon where they bought a house and raised their family. After retirement, they set off on years of adventures that finally landed them in Alabama; which they most recently called home. A proud alumni of 4-H and later a devoted advisor to the organization, Nancy found joy in working with children—a passion that extended throughout her life. Many will remember Nancy from her years at Berkshire High School in Burton, Ohio, where she worked closely with the school band. Her warmth and enthusiasm left an indelible mark on countless students over the years. Others may recall seeing her friendly smile during her time as a teller at Huntington National Bank. Nancy had a creative spirit that shone through in everything she did. She loved to sew and was an avid quilter whose beautiful creations brought joy to those around her. Her love for travel took her on many adventures near and far—experiences she treasured deeply. In addition to these pursuits, Nancy was an active member of the American Legion Post #459 Auxiliary in Burton. As a past president of the Auxiliary, she demonstrated unwavering commitment to supporting veterans and their families. Nancy’s legacy is one of love—love for her family, friends, community, and the simple joys of life. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May Nancy’s memory bring comfort to those who mourn her passing. The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life on Saturday Sept. 26, 2026 from 1:00-4:00 pm at the American Legion Hall Post #459 in Burton, Ohio. Arrangements are entrusted to Cason Funeral Service in Foley Al
