Enid married her true love Wilmer Hanson on December 7, 1948.  Together they raised their two sons in Valley City. She enjoyed playing cards, bowling, and coffee with friends.  She loved shopping and most of all dancing with her true love.

Her grandchildren remember hours of her playing with them and the cookie jar was always full.  Enid’s faith was strong and she was a long time member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Valley City.

Enid is survived by her two sons, Bruce (Holly) Hanson, Mesa, AZ, John (Darla) Hanson, Williston, ND; five grandchildren and five great grandchildren, Brandon (Summer) Lolling and children, Payton and Carter, Mesa; Kimberly (Chris) Morris and children, Autumn, Abigail and Joshua, Cottenwood, AZ; Ryan Hanson, Williston; Christopher Hanson, Williston; Zachary Wescom, Gilbert, AZ; and sister Muriel Larson, Fargo, ND.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers Neil and Norton and grandson, Jay Wescom.
