Donald "LeRoy" Hansen, age 93, of Exira, IA, passed away on Saturday, July 15, 2023, at Salem Lutheran Homes in Elk Horn, IA.
LeRoy was born in Osage, Iowa, the son of Sophus and Sara (Gross) Hansen. Growing up, he attended country schools and later enrolled in the Exira Community Schools. In 1952, LeRoy married Dorothy Frederick. Five boys were born into this union: Randy, Robert, Rick, Roger, and Rodney. Later, Dorothy and LeRoy were divorced. LeRoy served ten years in the Iowa National Guard. To many, he was quite a plumber and electrician. Also, being a farmer, LeRoy could and would fix anything. He was a collector of many antiques. LeRoy was a happy man, and you often could see him at his home, under his shade tree in his iron chair, enjoying the outdoors.
