It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elaine Mary Hanna, who left us on January 14, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on February 27, 1963, in Belfast, Ireland, Elaine brought light and love to all who knew her.
Elaine was the cherished wife of Bert Nelson and the devoted mother of Sheenagh Caridi. She was a beloved daughter to Mary McCaffrey Urbanczyk and the late Patrick Hanna, and a treasured stepdaughter to John Urbanczyk.
Elaine is survived by her brother, Patrick Hanna, and was preceded in death by her sister, Geraldine Carson. She was a loving aunt to her nieces, Kaley Krajewski and the late Tara Sullivan, and her nephew, Seamus Ridgway.
Elaine’s warm spirit, resilience, and kindness left an indelible mark on her family and friends. She will be remembered for her strength, love, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.
Elaine will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the hearts of all who loved her.
