away peacefully in her sleep on
February 12, 2018 at the age of
91 after a 9 year battle with
Alzheimer's. She was born to
Aemile and Louise Bona on January
8, 1927 in Volcano, CA.
Bev met her husband Jim on a
blind date and married in 1947.
After moving to Stockton, Bev
went to work for San Joaquin
Title Insurance and was active
in organizations like 20/30 Club,
Haute Couture, and many
others. She was a duplicate
bridge player for years. Jim and
Bev traveled the world with
many friends and family, were
avid boaters, and members of
Stockton Yacht Club for 50+
years. Bev had a quality about
her that when she entered a
room, the place just lit up.
Bev was preceded in death by
her husband James E. Hanley
and survived by brother Marvin
A. Richards of Oakdale; son
James R. Hanley (Kathy) of
Stockton, CA; daughter Marcy
L. Hanley of Novato, CA; and
two grandchildren James E.
Hanley II and Lauren K. Hanley,
Melissa Goodman (step granddaughter).
Many thanks to the
wonderful staff at Somerford
Place and Meadowood for the
care she received throughout
her last decade of life. They
were nothing short of amazing.
