Carolyn Hansen

Carolyn Aicher Hansen, 53, of Idaho Falls, passed away July 20, 2015, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, after a lifetime struggle with diabetes. Carolyn was born September 17, 1961, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Arthur Maurice Aicher and Doris James Aicher. At the time her older sister and four older brothers were more than thrilled to have a new baby sister. At the age of two, she developed Type 1 diabetes. This beautiful blue-eyed strawberry blonde little girl was the apple of her daddy’s eye until he passed away in 1968, when she was seven. Carolyn grew up and attended schools in the Idaho Falls area. On July 27, 1990, she married Keith Darwin Hansen in Iona, Idaho. They would have celebrated their 25th Anniversary this week. She was a wife and homemaker. Volunteering as a Candy Striper at the LDS Hospital was one of her most joyful activities. Carolyn was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was devoted to her dogs and loved them dearly. Survivors are: Husband: Keith Hansen of Idaho Falls, ID Mother: Doris Aicher Nield of Iona, ID Brother: James (Jean) Aicher of Idaho Falls, ID Brother: Larry Aicher of Iona, ID Brother: Donald (Marla) Aicher of Iona, ID Brother: Thomas (Teresa) Aicher of Iona, ID Sister: Joyce (Craig) Rockwood of Iona, ID; and two nieces and twelve nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Arthur Maurice Aicher, her stepfather, Donald R. Nield; and nephew, Benjamin Ray Aicher. The family wishes to extend a special thanks to her caregivers, Juanita, Jill and Zoreda, for their love and kindness. Carolyn was loved by her family and will be greatly missed. Family Graveside Services will be held at the Iona Cemetery in October when her brother, Tom, returns from overseas.
