Celebrating the Life of
God hath not promised Skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways All our lives through; God hath not promised Sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain.

hester Allen Hanson was born March 22,1932 in Cherokee, Iowa to Gottfrid and Emelia (Erlandson) Hanson. He was baptized into his faith on June 12, 1935 in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Cherokee, Iowa. He was raised on a farm northwest of Quimby. Chet attended school and graduated from Quimby High School with the class of 1950. He spent three years after graduation working as a farmhand for a neighbor. Chet was united in marriage to Zelda Louise Huck on October 3, 1954 at Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Quimby. The couple immediately moved to Holstein where Chet covered the territory for Simonsen, applying fertilizer and lime. Chet and Zelda were blessed with three children, Michael, Kathleen and Serving Sizes August. He and son Auggie, would later work together in the Chet Hanson and Son Fertilizer and Ag Lime business, along with daughter Kathy doing the bookwork. Chet gained and kept his customers by being an honest person. Chet was a volunteer fireman for the Holstein Fire Department for 29 years and was one of the first people to buy shares in the Holstein Town and Country Club. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, bowling and spending time with his family. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Kathleen (Randall) Vollmar of Holstein, August (Joni) Hanson of Holstein, and Connie Hanson (Bob) Butcher of Holstein; grandchildren, Eric (Christina) Hanson, Brittany Hanson, Leyna Hanson (Mike Schweitzberger), Gavin Hanson (Megan Schwanz), Emily Vollmar (James Doxtad), Donna (Lucas) Doxtad, Melanie (Jared) Noelting, Taylor Hanson (Heather Joslin) and Kristina Vollmar; great-grandchildren, Oliver and August Schweitzberger, Stella and Amelia Doxtad, Kate and Duke Doxtad, Harper and Evelyn Noelting; sisters-in-law, Faith Hanson of Marcus, Iowa and Betty Hanson of Ida Grove, Iowa; and many nieces, nephews and extended family and friends.
