Hana was an accomplished business woman and spent 23 years as an integral member of the Jones Intercable Company and related enterprises until the early 1990s. She was preceded in death by her husband and one son, Thomas, and is survived by her daughter, Lori, son, Bob, and five grandchildren: Amanda, Thomas, Allyson, Austin, and Michaela.
