Obituary for Jenny Camille Hanson | Southern Maryland

Jenny Camille Hanson, 56, of Hollywood, MD, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family on August 2, 2024. She was born on July 13, 1968 in Baltimore City, MD, to the late James C. Griffin and Mary M. (Cooper) Langley.

In 1986, she met the love of her life, Thomas B. Hanson III. They were married on July 7, 1995 in Leonardtown, MD. Together, they celebrated 38 wonderful years of love. She was an outgoing person and people were drawn to her natural ability to socialize. She never met strangers and made friends easily. She was very selfless and always made sure her family came first. She loved to make others smile and had a silly sense of humor. She was often seen dancing around the house and sometimes at the grocery store like no one was watching, even if it meant embarrassing her children. Jenny had a keen eye for decoration and helped many of her friends decorate their homes for the holidays. She was an excellent cook and cooked many special dishes for her family. Her family's favorite dishes were her famous stuffed shells, meatloaf and chili. Her greatest treasure in life was her family, she loved every minute with them. She was extremely proud of all her accomplishments and was her partner's biggest cheerleader. She loved to spend the day relaxing with her partner and watching their favorite TV shows together, which they often did after his work shift ended.

In addition to her beloved husband, Thomas Bayard Hanson III, Jenny is survived by her children Shana Tennant (Chad) of Vestal, NY, Thomas Hanson IV (Kristen) of Hollywood, MD, Dawson Hanson of Hollywood, MD, and Brooke Hanson of Hollywood, MD; her brother Jeffrey Griffin (Jill) of California, MD; her grandchildren Hailey Tennant and Courtney Tennant of Vestal, NY; and Austin Hanson, Kylie Hanson, and Karlie Hanson of Hollywood, MD; her half-brother Jayde Langley of Vacaville, CA; her best friend Karen Akers Svoboda, and other family and friends.
