Story
George and Edna Hansen, former residents of Pentwater, created the George Wilbur & Edna Hansen Endowment Fund in 2005 through a legacy gift in their will. This fund supports two cherished local organizations: the Pentwater Township Library and the Pentwater Centenary Methodist Church. George, born in Pentwater in 1911, graduated from Michigan State University and later worked in the post office, where he met Edna. They married in 1935 and enjoyed a life together filled with travel, golf, and community involvement after retiring to Pentwater in 1972. Both were active members of the local church, historical society, and library.
