Hannah was surrounded by her family when she walked through the gates of Heaven to take her place as the most beautiful angel. Her smile was so bright that it could light up the darkest of rooms. You couldn’t help but fall in love with her fun, sassy, spunky personality. No matter the obstacles and hurdles that were put in front of her,

she always met them head on and with that beautiful smile. Hannah loved to share her love for her collection of Funko Pops with anyone who wanted to see it. Her love for Mickey Mouse, doing crafts, big sparkly bows, music, watching cooking videos, and shopping at Walmart will forever be remembered.

The family would like to thank the critical care nurses, respiratory therapist, child life specialists, and doctors at Riley’s Hospital for Children. Thank you for loving and taking amazing care of our Hannah in the best and worst of times, you will forever be our extended family. To the Granted board and members, thank you for loving Hannah and our family so much and always being there for us all.
