Carla Gale (nee Hanson) died peacefully in her daughter's embrace on May 25, 2024, at the age of 25 (legally 69).

Carla was a beautiful, compassionate, and charitable woman. She used every second of her being to share her love and hold her loved ones close.

Upon her cancer diagnosis, she decided to fight, which she did every day and with such grace. She was motivated by her grandson to live, and to live with everyone who surrounded her with the same love she exuded to the world.

Whitnall graduate, local celebrity, and mother to nearly everyone she met, will be deeply missed. The memories shared will be cherished.

She left many loved ones and her family already misses her immensely, yet grateful she has peace. She leaves behind her legacy and children Lindsay Knapp, son-in-law Tyler Kluth, Brandon Kurzynski, Andrew & Rian Kurzynski, and her most precious human and grandson Tripoli Kluth. She is dearly missed by her sister Billie Jo (Hanson), brother-in-law Pete Cook, her nieces and nephews who called her "Auntie," Erica (Ryan) Kallies, Christina (Cody) McWilliams, Aaron Olson, and Tony (Molly) Hanson. Not to mention the next generation of loved ones who brought her such joy: Camille, Austin, Brady, Noah, Declan, Alex, and Ethan.

She now joins her son: Aubrey Stewert, whom will hold her in his embrace again, finally. She joins her mother Mary Ann Hanson (Carlson) and father Philip Hanson Sr. She joins her recently passed big brother Philip Hanson Jr. and his wife, her sister-in-law, Melinda (Hughes).

Join her for the last goodbye at Hartson's Funeral Home in Hales Corners, Wisconsin on June 22, 2024 with visitation beginning at 11AM and service to follow by 1PM.
