ALLYCE I (FIFIELD) HANSEN

Allyce Irene Hansen, 86, passed away peacefully at her home in Troy on September 29, 2017.  She was born in Idaho Falls, ID, to wonderful parents, Elsie Irene and Chester Joseph Fifield on May 12, 1931.  Allyce was the third of five siblings.

Allyce met her husband, Paul Hansen, in Idaho Falls and he soon followed her to Troy, MT, where they were married January 25, 1949. The family settled in Spokane, WA and after her children were older, she went back to school. She received her degree and was quickly employed by the Spokane Sherriff’s Department, where she worked for many years. After retirement, the decision was made to move back to Troy where she served as Troy Judge.  Allyce was always a very determined and accomplished lady that did not ever let anyone get in her way, and I am sure that she left this life with no regrets.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Paul; 4 sons, Paul Hansen, Chris Hansen, Rick Hansen, and Michael Hansen; and 4 brothers, Louis Fifield, Glen Fifield, Richard Fifield, and Norman Fifield.

Survivors include 2 daughters, Bobbee Mellick and Charlotte Merrill, both of Spokane, WA; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren.

A memorial and pot luck gathering will be held for friends and family at 2:00 PM on October 14, 2017 at the LDS Church, Troy Branch, 141 Lake Creek Rd. Arrangements are under the care of Schnackenberg & Nelson Funeral Home & Crematory in Libby.  Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.schnackenbergfh.com.
