Mae Hansen

Willie Mae Dean Davis, better known to friends and family as Billie, was born on April 8, 1932, in Opal Arkansas to Marvin and Dovie Davis.

When she was 15 years old, Billie and her family made Santa Fe their home.

In 1952, Billie was entered into a Military beauty contest with 600 other girlfriends and wives of soldiers and won that contest.   She was flown to Frankfurt Germany, where she married our Dad, Nolia (Dub) Hartley.  Included in the prize was their wedding and a honey moon tour of Europe.  They stayed in Germany until his discharge later that year.  In 1955 they started their family, two daughters Brenda and Sandie and their son Brad.

On December 7, 1974, after rekindling friendships from her past, Billie married the love of her life, Robert (Wayne) Hansen Sr. and gained three step children; Carolyn, Robert Jr and Lisa.  She loved entertaining, enjoyed spending time with her family helping make unforgettable memories with her children and grandchildren.  She loved art, fishing, photography, adventures and singing with her sister and brother.

Billie was a kind and graceful woman, who treated those around her as if they were all a part of her family.

She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Wayne Hansen, sister Jean Hansen, her children as well as 11 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren. She also has numerous nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents Marvin and Dovie Davis, her brother Jimmy Davis and her grand daughter Cristal Noyes.
