Rev. Kenneth Hansen
The Reverend Kenneth Ernest Louis Hansen was called to God on 23 April 2022 in Lindenhurst, Illinois. Ken was born 5 November 1936 in Chicago to Kenneth and Anne (Bartels) Hansen, the older brother of four sisters. Despite an early ambition to be an archaeologist, in his late teens he felt drawn to ministry. He served his vicarage at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa, WI and graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis in 1964. He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan, NY in 1965, and was ordained on 27 June 1965. Following his ordination, Ken was installed as Assistant Pastor at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Huntington Station, NY (1965-1968). He was called and installed as Pastor at St. James Lutheran Church in St. James, NY (1968-2001). After his retirement in 2001, he moved back to Illinois where he supported the congregation at Lord of Glory Lutheran Church in Grayslake during two vacancies and was made Pastor Emeritus. Ken had a big heart, big enthusiasm, and big energy which shone through in every facet of life. He was a lover of old things and new ideas. His ministry will be remembered through his creative use of the dramas and skits he wrote, multimedia sermons, advent events, and his portrayal of religious figures, most notably St. Nicholas. During his spare time he collected stamps, listened to operas, classical music and show tunes, roasted and ground his own coffee, built paper models, and even made his own paper. However, his greatest joy was travel. His love for travel began as a teenager when he backpacked across Europe, where he was hospitalized with meningitis in Austria for many weeks. His travels, enhanced by his skill and love of learning new languages, brought him to all seven continents, including far-flung locations like Antarctica, Botswana, Australia, the Falkland Islands, the Galapagos, Russia, Israel, and India. During his years in seminary Ken courted his future wife Carol Newby, primarily by mail while she was in nursing school, and they were married in 1962. He was predeceased by his sister Bonnie and his infant daughter.

Ginny L. Abruzzo
Ginny L. Abruzzo, 67, a long-time resident of Libertyville, IL, passed away March 26, 2022 after a fierce and courageous battle with breast cancer. She was born December 2, 1954 in Lake Forest, IL to Raymond and Bette Michaels.
She retired in March 2021 after 25+ years as a dedicated employee of the Health Information Management team at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, IL. She enjoyed many simple pleasures in life which included playing with her dog Ellie, hummingbird watching, an early morning coffee, and an evening glass of wine. She loved the outdoors, wildlife, and Chicago sports teams. Most summer days she could be found tending to her garden, her favorite summertime passion.
Her greatest joys in life were watching her grandchildren and garden grow. Anyone who knew Ginny was touched by her patience, ability to listen, and positivity. She loved everyone deeply and unconditionally, and we take comfort in knowing that Ginny is now at peace and free of pain.
Ginny is survived by her husband of almost 42 years, Joseph Abruzzo, her children Jessie Abruzzo, Joey Abruzzo, and Jordan (Hayley) Abruzzo, her grandchildren Cecelia, Aiden, and Madelyn, and her siblings Ron Michaels, Diane (Dwight) Schlicting, and Don (Claudia) Michaels. She was preceded in death by her parents.
All funeral arrangements were privately held and entrusted to Strang Funeral Chapel, 410 E. Belvidere Road, Grayslake, IL 60030. For more information, please call (847) 223-8122 or visit www.StrangFuneral.org.
