Florence Hann Tribute Onlinetributes.com.au

Neville and I first met Dal and Betty when they purchased their home at Scarborough. We had been Xmas renting a section of that home prior to Betty and Dal purchasing it. I can remember Betty telling me quite openly and honestly she was quite worried when the the previous owners had told them we had 5 children. However that was the start of a warm friendship as we became more like family.Dal liked to tease, caring for his car and the visits around the garden in the evening with his glass of port.But more importantly he was a man proud of his family. Betty loved life and enthusiastically shared her love of life with all. She accepted everyone for who they were and looked always for the best in people. Betty loved walking along the beach and recreating God's creation on canvas and in many tallented ways.But Betty also loved Sydney and the opportunities life offered there. She loved visiting Lyn, and so many times she spoke of going to live in Sydney. It was sad to witness this intelligent vital person as her memory began to fade, but she never lost her spirit,and never her sence of fun and micheviousness. She still enjoyed all life had to offer her. So it was with great thankfulness, our prayers were answered, and Betty went to live in Sydney and the loving care of Lyn and her family. Thank you Lyn, for sharing this part of Betty's journey with us, for the photo's of Betty's last birthday, for the laughter and joy, the fun and jigs and dances that Betty so loved, but most of all your loving arms surrounding Betty, holding her and singing to her as you released her into her Heavenly Father's arms.What a joyous celebration that was, a birthday gift for Dal. Betty gave so much of herself to her family and her friends, she will never be forgotten. She was loved. Neville and Joan Hinrichsen and family.

I am sorry to say, I have only known Betty Hann indirectly. Yes, I have never met her, but then she became as dear to me as my own mom.

I have been friends with her daughter Lyn for more than 30 years. Even there are continents between us, we stayed together as friends and prayer partners. Lyn had laid her mom onto my heart. Our prayers were answered when after years of opposition Betty was able to be cared for by Lyn in Lyn's home. For the last 21 months she had 24/7 dedicated one-on-one care, before she passed away in Lyn's arms.

After years of praying for her, Betty Hann became very dear to me. She had a joyful nature, very thankful and without complaints. She has been very patient and indulgent, because she trusted in the Lord, her stronghold and tower. She knew the Lord will interfere at his time: "My times are in your hands", Psalm 31:15.

You will find her lovely thoughts expressed in her paintings. Let them touch and inspire you.
