On Sunday, July 19, 2020, Mary Louise Esch Hansen beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away at the age of 103. She was born July 15, 1917, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Fred and Hattie Esch. She was deeply and lovingly dedicated to both God and her family. Mary Lou always made all holidays and birthdays special for her family – this will be greatly missed. She had beautiful collections of china tea cups and angel figurines that will continue to be cherished. Mary Lou was employed as a receptionist for the Department of Social Services in Colorado Springs from 1973 until her retirement in 1994. She loved the mountains of Colorado and made Colorado her home until moving to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 2013 to be with family.

Mary Lou is survived by her children, Allen Hansen and Karen Engvall; her grandsons, Michael (Heather) Seraphine, Matthew (Kathryn) Seraphine, and Steven (Katie) Esposito; and her great granddaughter, Maelynn Seraphine. She is also survived by nieces, nephews and many close friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers and sisters-in-law, Donald (Alice), Frank (Virginia), and Fred (Goldie); and her former husband, Clarence Hansen.

Mary Lou’s family would like to extend their appreciation and gratitude to the staff of Arborview Manor and Heartland Hospice for their loving kindness to her.

A private family memorial will be held.
