Statement from Easton State Sen. Tony Hwang in Memory and Honor of Eunice Hanson

Easton, CT - With deep fondness, admiration, and gratitude, we honor the life of Eunice Hanson — a beloved friend, devoted public servant, and moral compass for our Easton community.

As Easton’s longtime Registrar of Voters, Eunice served with distinction, ensuring the integrity of our democracy with diligence, fairness, and heartfelt care for every citizen she encountered. Her steady hand, warm smile, and kind words made her not just a trusted official, but a cherished presence in the life of our town.

Beyond her years of service to Easton, Eunice demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion as an unwavering advocate for the victims and families affected by the tragedy of September 11, 2001. She stood as a fierce voice for remembrance, dedicating herself to honoring the lives lost and reminding all of us that the grief and consequences of that day remain with us still.

I am proud and humbled to have called Eunice a friend. Her grace, strength, and enduring commitment to doing what is right will continue to inspire all who knew her. Though we will deeply miss her presence, her spirit lives on — in every act of service, in every gesture of kindness, and in our shared promise never to forget.

May her memory forever be a blessing, and may we honor her legacy by living with the same compassion, courage, and devotion to others that she so fully embodied.
