Hazel Irene ‘Hady’ (Moore) Hanson, 81, of Methuen, formerly of Bedford, Billerica and Tewksbury, passed away peacefully, Monday, May 23, 2022 at Methuen Village. She was the beloved widow of the late James Arthur Hanson who died in 1999.
A daughter of the late Clarence and the late Phyllis Christine (Berry) Moore, she was born July 2, 1940, in Machiasport, Maine, and was raised and educated in that area. As a military wife, Hazel has made homes in Maine, Indiana, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, England and finally Massachusetts.
For over 30 years she worked as a research librarian at the Hanscom Research Library, and during this time, she made her home, and raised her family in Bedford, and then Billerica.
She will be remembered as being generous and charitable, almost to a fault, going out of her way to make sure she thought of others before her self. Her grandchildren were her world, and everyday was a different way to make a grandchild smile. She also enjoyed shopping and reading.
Her survivors include her children, Kathleen Hanson and her wife, Janelle Cooper, of Lowell, Stacey Pimentel and her husband, Brian, of Tewksbury, her beloved grandchildren, Jacob and Honor; her siblings, Horace "Hoppy" Moore and his wife, Marylou, of Machiasport, ME, William "Billy" Moore and his wife, Terry, of Machiasport, ME, Norma Jean "Jeannie" Davis and her husband, Robert, of Cutler, ME, Bruce Moore and his wife, Mildred, of Machiasport, ME, Marguerite Preston and her husband, James, of Roques Bluff, Maine, and Donald Moore of Princeton, ME, and her many beloved nieces and nephews.
Hazel was predeceased by her siblings Clarence "Buddy" Moore, Dorothy "Dot" Gardner, Florence Marie "Mickey" Sprague, Rebecca Kingsley along with their spouses.
