Omar Milton Hansen

March 3, 1922 — June 1, 2010

Omar Hansen, devoted husband, father, former Springville High chemistry and physics teacher and principal, B.Y. High teacher, Art Museum board member, Kiwanis Club member and WWII Navy Officer passed away peacefully, June 1, 2010.



Born in Provo in 1922, Omar married his high school sweetheart, LaVon Gurr in the SLC Temple.



Following 3 years of Navy service in the Pacific, he was awarded the Bronze Star for valor as gunnery officer aboard the USS Brown. Omar and LaVon then settled in Springville.



Omar loved his family, his students and nature. Each day was an adventure: camping, scouting, water skiing, hunting, fishing and snow skiing. He shared his appreciation for the beauty around him by capturing the color, texture and feeling of life in art. He produced over 90 paintings of Utah mountains and other scenery, several winning awards at Art shows.



He is survived by his wife, 4 siblings: June Henrichsen, Victor, Roger, Patrick; seven children: Robert, Judy, Craig, Deanna, Marsha, Gilbert, Spencer; 39 grandchildren; 65 great-grandchildren.



Viewing will be June 3, from 7 8 PM at the Wheeler Mortuary, 211 East 200 South, Springville. Funeral will begin at 11 AM, 4 June, with a viewing at 10 AM at the LDS Chapel located at 555 South 600 East, Springville with internment to follow at the Springville Evergreen Cemetery.



In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the LDS Humanitarian Fund or the Springville Museum of Art.



Farewell, good friend!
