Yvonne S. Voni Vitt-Hansen, 50,

Yvonne S. "Voni" Vitt-Hansen, 50, passed away on Monday, March 22, 2010, when angels came and took her to Heaven, at Kalispell Regional Medical Center in Kalispell. She died from pneumonia, respiratory failure. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was born Oct. 31, 1959, in Whitefish, the youngest of three children, to Quentin and Donna Vitt. She was raised on a farm near Somers and attended eight years at the Somers School. She loved the farm, and the outdoors with her rabbits, kittens and her pony. She graduated from Flathead High School in 1978 and attended one year of college in Havre, and three years at Montana State University in Bozeman, where she earned a degree in fine arts and had always dreamed of teaching art to children. She married the love of her life, Brian T. Hansen, on Dec. 31, 1981, and they were able to share almost 29 happy years together. She was a very dedicated and loving mother to their four children. She loved her garden, her flowers, picking huckleberries, camping and teaching them all how to cook. She loved everyone who was dear and near to her and she shared that love with them; now she is safe in the arms of Jesus. She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Louie Sasse and Earnest Vitt; and her grandmothers, Cathryn Sasse and Cassie Gaurnero. She is survived by her husband, Brian T. Hansen; children, Charlie, Bill, Dan and Kassara; parents, Quentin and Donna Vitt; brother, Lance Vitt and wife, Renee, and family, sister, Cathi Iverson and husband, Dale, and family, all of the Flathead Valley; plus many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and other relatives.
