Obituary
Elsie Marie Lee Hanna, born June 19, 1932, to the late Essie Moore
Lee and Leroy Lee. She departed this life on Friday, February 9, 2024,
after a very short illness. She was educated in the Florence, S.C. School
District.
Marie accepted the Lord Jesus Church as her personal savior as a
teenager at East Lake City Holiness Church. She continued to be in
His service from that moment on.
She was united in holy matrimony to David L. Hanna. God blessed
them with a loving daughter, Helen. In the early 60’s, she migrated to
the northeast, seeking better opportunities for herself and her family.
Marie secured employment as a domestic engineer with families in New
Jersey and New York. Additionally, she worked at Tres Joli Salon in
Harrison, New York, and later became a deli clerk at Kroger Grocery
Stores in Texas, from which she retired in 2015.
Marie was a long-time member of the Strait Gate Church in
Mamaroneck, NY, pastored by the late Bishop Alfred S. Powell. Under
his leadership she was involved in numerous auxiliaries, some of which
included Superintendent of Sunday School, Usher Board, various
choirs, and the Missionary Board among many others.
In 1991, she relocated to Katy, Texas. While there she was a member of
Refuge Vision Ministries, pastored by Dr. Bishop Elijah Solomon. She
worked tirelessly in various capacities serving the church and her God.
Upon returning home to South Carolina in 2017, she became a member
of the Word of Truth Church Family, pastored by Elder Gerald W. Rose.
There she served wherever needed for as long as her health permitted.
Marie is preceded in death by her parents; an adopted sister, Rosa Lena
Lee; and a special niece, Linda S. Gaskins.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories, her daughter, Helen;
adopted daughter, Andrea Yizar; sister, Era Mae Gaskins: Godchild,
Serena Plaskett; a host of nieces, nephews; and a multitude of extended family and friends.
