Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Joseph City Chapel 8181 Westover Avenue in Joseph City, Arizona. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service with interment immediately following at the Joseph City Cemetery. He was the youngest, born to the late Delbert and Alice (Smith) Hansen on Aug. 23, 1935, in Joseph City. Floyd grew up on the family dairy farm, which would eventually be his life career. After graduating from high school in 1953, he later enrolled in Brigham Young University for two years before serving as a missionary in the Central States Mission. After returning home he continued his studies at BYU where he graduated with a degree in Animal Husbandry. On July 31, 1964, Floyd married Karen Elizabeth Pihl in the Salt Lake City Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Floyd was a devoted dairyman, farmer and rancher as a partner in Hansen Brothers and Midway Dairy. Five years after the death of his wife Karen, he married Lynne C. Westover on Dec. 6, 2003, in the Snowflake Arizona Temple. Floyd will be remembered for his quiet wittiness and clever use of words. He was an avid reader, liked listening and dancing to good music and relished in good political conversation. He was firmly committed to his family, church and community as a stalwart example of faith and endurance.
