Mary Jane Hahn ObituaryPublished by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 13, 2026.Mary Jane Hahn, 90 of Post Falls, passed away peacefully January 28, 2026.She was born in Altus, Arkansas January 10, 1936, the second child born to John E. and Illawynne (Bell) Lauhon. She had one sibling, seven years her senior, John Lauhon Jr. She adored her older brother and parents. She spoke often of missing them and wanting to see them in heaven again.Mom will be remembered fondly by her four children, Deanne (Shawn) Thomason, Melissa Garcia, Brad (Karen) Elligood, and Brian Hahn. She is also survived by her eight grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. She was generous to a fault and helped in any way she could, opening her heart, home and wallet for family, friends, and strangers. Mom was a longtime member of North Country Chapel in Post Falls. She enjoyed being a greeter and giving hugs, handshakes and passing out smiley face stickers. She loved her church family and thought Pastor Bob Davis was the best teacher she'd ever heard. Mom dreamed of being a nurse her whole life. In her 40's she got her G.E.D. and completed an LPN certificate at North Idaho College. Her first nursing job was a Kootenai Hospital but she went on to work for cardiologist James Pataky. She loved her job and her patients. Our family will never be able to thank Janae Daughtery of Living Springs Assisted Living and her wonderful staff for all the love and care they poured over Mom for the last four years. To our Auburn Crest Hospice family in particular (Holly Dale and Jen Tomason). They truly worked as the heart and hands of Jesus, caring for Mom when we couldn't. A thousand thank you's.The family will have a private gathering later in the year. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Auburn Crest Hospice (1-208-665-8111) , 90To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
