SLC Mission President's Wife Collapses, Dies in Mission Home

The wife of the president of the LDS Church's Utah Salt Lake City Mission died unexpectedly Wednesday after she collapsed at the mission home.

Carol Vaughn Curran Hansen, wife of President Stephen W. Hansen, was 69. She was in excellent health and actively serving as she fulfilled a lifelong dream of serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"It's surreal," said her oldest child, Kevin Hansen of Cedar Hills, Utah. "This was completely sudden."
