In Loving Memory Dr. Juliet Ruth Hanson April 2, 1945 - November 5, 2025 Dr. Juliet Ruth Hanson of Shoreview, Minnesota, passed away peacefully at home after a lengthy illness on November 5, 2025. Juliet was born on April 2, 1945, in Holdrege, Nebraska, to Juliet Peterson Hanson and Carl David Hanson. She was one of six children raised on their family farm near Bertrand, Nebraska. A graduate of Bertrand Public School, Juliet went on to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she graduated with honors. She was accepted into the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha at a time when few women entered medical school. In 1972, she earned her Doctorate of Medicine and entered the Anesthesia Residency Program at UNMC. After completing her training, Juliet moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, where she began a long and distinguished career in Anesthesiology at Regions Hospital and Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare. She also served as an officer in the Minnesota Air National Guard. She loved the Scandinavian atmosphere of Minnesota and made it her lifelong home. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Mexico with friends and family. In 1983, she met the love of her life, Tom Reddy, and they married soon after. Their daughter, Holly Victoria Reddy, was born two years later-a treasured blessing. Juliet, Tom, and Holly enjoyed family camping trips in their RV and summer journeys back to Nebraska to visit family and friends. In the two years following Tom's passing, Juliet was lovingly cared for at home by her daughter Holly. Juliet was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Reddy; her father, Carl D. Hanson; mother, Juliet Mabel Hanson; and brothers Carl David Hanson II, Donald J. Hanson, and Fred T. Hanson.
