ETER “PETE” C. HANSELL
Peter “Pete” C. Hansell, born July 8, 1953, passed away Monday, September 10, 2018, after a short illness. For years, Pete lived and worked in the Burleson area, and had a large family of friends. They meant so much to him, and he to them. Pete became blind after a stroke several years ago, but continued to live independently thanks to the wonderful help of these friends and his can-do attitude. Pete grew up mostly in Dallas and attended Austin College. For most of his professional life, he worked in the advertising or automobile sales and finance business, following in the footsteps of his father. He loved all sports, especially his beloved Cowboys, and loved watching them. Pete also loved spending holidays with his family in Dallas and later in Houston. Pete is preceded in death by his father, G.E. “Hank” Hansell; mother, Elinor Green Hansell; and infant brother, Stephen C. Hansell. Survivors include his sisters, Reese Hansell Todd and husband, William F. Todd, and Heidi Hansell Askew; nephews, Chris Todd, David Todd, and Hayden Askew, niece, Emily Askew; and various great nieces and nephews; and his high school sweetheart and life-long friend, Noel. Donations can be made to the charity of choice.
