Mrs. Mary “DeLayne” Hannah, age 72, of Murfreesboro, TN passed way, Sunday November 8, 2026. Born in Manchester, TN, she was the daughter of the late C.E “Shorty” Mayton and Mildred Reed Mayton. DeLayne is also preceded in death by her daughter, Carrie Hannah.
DeLayne is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Michael Hannah; son, Michael Edward Hannah and his wife Sara; grandchildren, Daxton Michael and Meadow Joy Hannah; sisters, Cathy Mayton Vaughn, Darwyn Mayton Miller (Hal), and Dana Mayton; along with many nieces and nephews.
After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University, DeLayne began her career as a registered nurse. She first served as a surgical nurse at Rutherford Hospital before continuing her nursing career at the Murfreesboro VA Hospital, where she cared for patients as an oncology nurse.
DeLayne found joy in finger painting, watching her favorite crime dramas, especially Law & Order: SVU, and traveling to Pensacola Beach with Michael. She cherished the time she spent with her daughter, Carrie, who preceded her in death in 2017. The two enjoyed watching daytime soap operas together, particularly One Life to Live and General Hospital.
Above all, DeLayne was a devoted wife, lovingly known as “Duchy” by Michael, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother. She will be remembered for her quick wit, wonderful sense of humor, and the love she shared with her family.
Visitation with the family will be held at Woodfin Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM with memorial service beginning at 4:00PM.
