After retirement, she and her husband moved to Pinetop, Ariz., where they owned a real estate company. They moved back to Phoenix and after a few years moved to Prescott.

Polly is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Dorinda Hanna; two grandsons, Paul (Terri) and Scott; and three great-granddaughters.

Polly was preceded in death by her son Russell Dean in 1943 and her husband Lyle Hanna in 1998, with whom she shared 63 years of marriage.

Polly had a firm testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many positions in the church.
