Hanson, Alice Frykman October 23, 1918 - July 7, 2018

Alice Frykman Hanson died July 7, 2018, at the Meadowview Assisted Living facility of the Wartburg Senior Living Center in Mount Vernon, NY. She was 99 years old. She was a resident of Rochester, MN for 55 years, and moved to NY in 2013 to be close to her daughter.

Alice was born on October 23, 1918, the daughter of August and Emma (Peterson) Frykman. The family lived in Bottineau, ND. Alice graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN in 1942, and received a master’s degree in education at Winona State University. She married her high school classmate Carroll M. Hanson in 1945. They were married for 67 years. Survivors include son Eric (Sharon) of Boston, MA; daughter Jean of Bronxville, NY; son Mark (Greta) of Portland, OR; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She will be missed by her loving family and by her many friends, both in Rochester and in her new home in New York.

Alice devoted her life to her family, her community and her church. She was a beloved middle school history teacher whose love of her subject, her stories, and her homemade snacks endeared her to her many students. Alice was an accomplished pianist and loved sharing her music. In retirement, she played old love songs and hymns countless hours for the residents of various retirement homes. She last entertained at Meadowview shortly before her death. Also a lifelong embroidery, quilting and rosemaling artist, Alice began oil painting at 97. Her work was recently displayed at Bronxville Library’s Senior Citizens Art Show.
