Loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Jessie went home to the LORD on December 12, 2013.

Born to Edna (Miller) Gilbert and Edward G. Gilbert on May 31, 1922 in Alliance, Ohio. Jessie married Roger Hanson in 1963 and resided in California and Bullhead City, Arizona, until they moved to Coeur d'Alene in 2000. 

Jessie was active in church, loved to fish and waterski, and make crafts for her family and friends, and welcomed anyone she ever met with open arms and a loving heart.

Jessie was preceded in death by her two brothers, Robert and Edwin Gilbert. She is survived by her husband Roger Hanson; her brother Richard Gilbert (Kay) of California; two daughters: Bobbie Welch (Howard) of Coeur d'Alene, and Becky Dye of California; three stepsons: John Hanson, California, Steve Hanson, California, and Mark Hanson; along with seven grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren.

Jessie touched the lives of many people throughout her life and will be deeply missed by all.
