It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Kinley, age 2 of Sac City, IA, on June 1, 2022. Kinley was born on June 27, 2019, to parents Jesse and Jessica Hanson, in Carroll, Iowa. A little sweet and a little salty, Kinley took life by the horns wearing her pink sparkly boots and cowgirl hat all around the farm. She loved life, helping with family chores, and she was always up for an adventure. The farm animals were her favorite, but the cats, Haybale and Cornstalk, held a special place in her heart.

  Kinley loved being at the lake on the boat or anything that was moving for that matter. She was her big brother Blake’s little shadow; he was her role model and she adored him. She was a huge help with her baby brother Brody—she was so proud the day he came home and was the best big sister a brother could ask for. Kinley loved handing out big, wet kisses, and her facial expressions were priceless. Her bright smile was contagious, lighting up a room. Kinley will be remembered singing and dancing through life with her adorable purple glasses and bows in her hair.

  Those left to cherish her memory include her parents, Jesse and Jessica Hanson; her brothers, Blake and Brody Hanson; her paternal grandparents, Norman and Lynette (Paulsen) Hanson of Albert City, IA; Uncle Josh Hanson of Sac City, IA, and Uncle Jared Hanson of Cedar Falls, IA.  Her Great Grandparents Marvin & Sharen (Wilde) Hanson of St. Ansgar. Great Grandparents Paul and Ruth (Koeke) Paulsen of Oto, Iowa. Her maternal grandparents, Steve and Tonya (Neubauer) Bock of Ames, IA; her Uncle Nate Bock of Bozeman, MT, Uncle Christopher Bock of Fort Meyers, FL.  Her Aunt Melissa (Bryan) Pearson; her cousins, Adelyn, Cayden, Evelyn, and Damari Pearson of Ames, IA; and several great Aunts, Uncles, and other Extended family and Friends. 

   Kinley is preceded in death by maternal grandparents Jack and Marty Neubauer, and Ralph and Mary Ann Bock; and her Great Aunt Lori Neubauer.
