Obituary
Carole Naomi Hansen, age 81, of Canton, Mi passed away on November 29, 2023 at
Angela Hospice in Livonia, Mi.
Carole was born on March 23, 1942 to Richard and Glenna Kaiser who resided in
Wayne, Mi. She attended Plymouth schools and married her high school sweetheart.
Loren’s family and Carole’s family both attended First Baptist Church of Wayne. Carole
had mentioned that she had first noticed Loren in middle school, but they started dating
when she was 16 after Loren was invited to her 16th birthday party. The rest is history.
Loren and Carole were married at the Martha Mary Chapel at Greenfield Village in the
winter of 1959. They honeymooned in Florida and soon after began their family. Sherrie
was born in March of 1961. Susan soon followed in May of 1962. Sheila was born in
June of 1966, with Loren (Sonny) in the spring of 1968.
After the children were in school, Carole worked a couple of retail jobs until she was
needed to run the office at their family owned business, Standard Printing Company.
Carole enjoyed antiques and decorating their beautiful home. She loved her family and
church friends. She also enjoyed hosting parties at her home. One love of both her and
Loren was camping and traveling. They explored many areas around the world and
especially enjoyed going on cruises. They even took the whole family on two cruises -
one for their 50th anniversary and the other was a Disney Cruise that the grandchildren
just loved.
Carole is preceded in death by her favorite grandma, Naomi Bigler, with whom she had
a special relationship. She is also preceded in death by her loving parents, Richard and
Glenna Kaiser, and her granddaughter, Jill LaRocque.
She is survived by her loving husband, Loren, and four children, Sherrie (Dave) Snyder
of Livonia, Sue LaRocque of Manchester, Sheila (Barry) Meyer of Milan, and Loren
(Susan) Hansen of Grand Rapids. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and 11
great grandchildren, and her brother Lynn Kaiser.
