About Hannah

Hannah Ray Geneser as a young child.

Hannah was a four-year-old with spunk, a great sense of humor, and a huge amount of compassion and love in her heart. She enjoyed dressing up like princesses and superheroes, reading bedtime stories with her mom and dad, and time on the lake. She loved being with family, but especially her little sister, Harper. In March of 2011, Hannah fell from a second-story window when a screen gave way and sustained fatal injuries. As a result of the devastation and unimaginable grief, her family created the Hannah Geneser Foundation to honor her life and to bring awareness to window safety.
