I am so sorry for your loss! I had Mrs. Hanichen for 7th grade Math class at North Shores Junior High School. I know it is called Middle School now… She made Math a class I actually understood and did well in that year. Too bad all teachers could not continue teaching the same way. One of her son’s was close to my oldest brother Kirk. They both lost another friend this week from High School. It is so difficult growing older. Keeping all of you in my thoughts in prayers during this most difficult time. Kelly Antekeier

Great Memories of a Wonderful Teacher / Friend. She always made time to work after class with me on my math problem's. All the years of Mona Shores, Ellen and William worked very hard for the School District and were appreciated and liked by all. My Deepest Sympathy to Joe and the Family.

I saw Mrs. Hanichen about 5 or 6 years ago. She was out to lunch with friends but took the time to talk to me and “catch up.” She was a very lovely women and teacher that I greatly respected. Sending peace and condolences. 💜

Ellen and my husband Larry were very close esp since they both taught middle school math. Ellen was so kind and caring and I hope they are both together up in heaven as Larry passed away in 2021.
