In memory of Elva Hansen. A sweet, wonderful lady who unfortunately left us October 13, 2002. We miss you!

"Elva Maxine Hansen, 78, of Hot Springs died
Sunday, October 13, 2002 in Houston, Texas."

On November 17, 2002, the Production Committee elected to dedicate the 2003 Season, "A Season of Laughter", to the memory of this remarkable woman.

We called her "The Queen of the Pocket Theatre" with great affection. She was with the Pocket Theatre from the very beginning. She was in countless plays...directed some...sat on our Board of Directors... handled our funds as treasurer...served as our Season Ticket Chairperson...not to mention the times she operated the box office...worked on costumes and props...cleaned the house (theatre)...Play Selection Committee...always a good word for all...and on and on...

She was a beloved favorite of our audiences.

Elva wanted everyone at her service to receive a card with the following message:

Elva Hansen was a true Lady...a delight to be around...onstage...backstage...office...neighbor...friend. Elva, our paths will cross again on the great stage above!
