Hanna Schellin, 87, of Pensacola, FL passed away on Friday, January 31, 2025, after a valiant battle with Parkinson's disease.

Hanna grew up in Belm, Germany, came to the United States in 1960 and soon fell in love with and married Winfrid. She worked as a lab technician at the University of Iowa and later Northwestern University in Chicago. Once her children were born, she stayed at home and was a devoted and loving wife and mother to her three children. She could not have been prouder of her kids and traveled to weekly swim meets and served as team manager for years to help in their success.

Hanna was an avid bridge player, and enjoyed cross stitching, crocheting, doing sudoku puzzles, watching movies and Wheel of Fortune, and decorating the house for Christmas each year. She maintained her close friendships with childhood friends in Germany, and she and Win made annual trips back to her childhood home until those trips became too difficult. She loved to travel and enjoyed trips out West and cruises from Alaska to the Caribbean, to the Mediterranean.

As her kids' families expanded, she was the first to inquire about all their activities, and she never missed a birthday or other celebration. She was the epitome of grace, patience, and kindness, and she willingly shared those with everyone she met. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Winfrid Schellin; three children, Walter Schellin (Jan), Thomas Schellin (Susan), and Karen Stanton (Patrick). She was also the cherished Oma of Austin Hubbard, the late Nicholas, and Heidi Schellin, Tommy, Burke, John, Peter, and Ellie Stanton.

A Memorial Visitation will be held 12:00pm-2:00pm Monday, February 17, 2025, at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial contribution to Parkinson's Foundation or a charity of your choice.
