e lived in California for 2-3 years before returning to the Ames area where he worked for Benson Motors. Later in his working career, John worked as a nursing aide at the Good Samaritan Care Center in Forest City. John was diagnosed with schleroderma in his mid 50's, which eventually was a leading cause for his death. John was preceded in death by his grandparents, his biological father, a sister - Patricia and his step- father. He is mourned by his mother, Anne Hanna; his siblings, Carol Neal and Paul Hanna; his sister- in- law, Jeanette Hanna and his niece and great-nieces and nephews. The family would like to express gratitude to all those who cared for John over the years at Mercy Medical Hospital, Good Samaritan Care Center, Nora Springs Care Center, and most recently Hospice of Northern Iowa. His care givers were also family to him and he enjoyed his interactions with them.
