The passing of Hannah Takemori on April 8, 2026, has left her family, friends, and faith community in deep mourning. At 30 years old, Hannah’s life was one of quiet devotion, kindness, and meaningful service to others—qualities that made her deeply loved by all who knew her.
A dedicated member of the Frassati, Grads & Young Professionals community, Hannah was actively involved in ministry and lived her faith through action. She served as a sacristan at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and worked as a teacher at St. Monica Catholic School in Mercer Island. In both roles, she touched countless lives with her compassion, patience, and genuine care.
Hannah was known for her gentle spirit and thoughtful nature. She had a way of making people feel welcome and supported, offering kindness in both big and small ways. Whether through her work with students or her service within the church, she lived a life centered on giving and connection.
Her loss is deeply felt across her community, where she was cherished not only for what she did, but for who she was. Friends and fellow parishioners remember her as someone who brought light and warmth into their lives—a steady and caring presence who will not be forgotten.
In honor of her life, a prayer vigil will be held at the UW Newman Center at 7:00 p.m. on April 18, 2026. This gathering will offer an opportunity for all who knew Hannah to come together in prayer, remembrance, and support for one another during this time of grief.
As her loved ones navigate this heartbreaking loss, they are held in the thoughts and prayers of many. Hannah’s legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the faith she shared, and the love she gave so freely.
May she rest in peace, and may her memory continue to be a blessing.
