Predeceased by his wife, Evelyn Hanning; his parents, Margaret and Leroy Hanning; brothers: John, Nevin, Harry (Betty), Howard (Beti) and Arlie Hanning. Grant will be lovingly remembered by his sisters-in-law: Peggy Hanning, Ilene (Alex) Miles and Doris Anderson; brother-in-law, Harold (Gladys) Hunstad; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Warren Grant Hanning was born October 9, 1929 at Weyburn. He was raised on the family farm, taking over from his Dad when he retired. Grant farmed until the mid 1970's. He took his schooling at Weyburn Plains School. Grant was too young to serve, but four of his brothers served during WWII. One brother, John, was killed during the war. On September 11, 1965 Grant married Evelyn Hunstad at Weyburn. He was involved with
the farming lives of his close neighbors, the Stewarts, Fletchers, Surrings, Payaks and Carpenters, always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. After moving to Weyburn, Grant worked as a parts man at the Co-op Implements and International Harvester, a janitor at the Court House and Weyburn Comprehensive, and sold Blanchard. He was also a bus driver for several years. In 1978 Grant's life changed when Evelyn was involved in a car accident. He became her constant care giver, and was very devout right up to her passing. Grant was very interested in local and family history, and was very knowledgeable in Weyburn and area history. He took personal pride in his knowledge of this area and of the province. Grant was a member of the Soo Line Museum and Western Development Museum. He had a great sense of humor and always enjoyed a good laugh. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by all he knew and loved. Funeral service was held Thursday, March 6 at 2:00 p.m. from Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, with Marj McLeod CLA
