Virginia Helen Hansen, 61 of Morgan Hill, died peacefully Friday April 8, 2005, at her residence surrounded by loved ones.
Mrs. Hansen (Ginny) grew up in the Lansing area where she met and married Bryce Hansen in 1961. They lived in many Michigan cities (Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, Elk Rapids and Holland) before moving to San Jose in 1980.
She was a wonderful mother who was always there to catch you when you fell, encouraging your dreams, inspiring your happiness and holding your hand, helping you through it all. She often enjoyed traveling to visit family. Her best times were when her children and grandchildren were by her side.
After her diagnosis of breast cancer in 1999 she was always willing to help anyone in need. She was one of the founding owners of CCS (Corporate & Commercial Services) in San Jose for 12 years, before selling the business. She continued a leadership role in the company until December of last year.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Bill Friedmann; son and daughter-in-law Bryan and Ellen Hansen; son and daughter-in-law Russell and Monica Hansen; granddaughters, Ashley Friedmann, Kayla Hansen, Jillian VanVonderen; grandsons, Nick Friedmann, Bryce Hansen, Jacob Hansen, Matthew Friedmann and wife Julie Friedmann, Griffin VanVonderen, Angel Gonzalez; great-grandson Austin Friedmann; mother, Luella Wahl; and brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Mary Wahl.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband Bryce Hansen and father George Wahl.
Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers. the family asks that donations be sent to Hospice of the Valley or the Breast Cancer Foundation.
