STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A Stevens Point mother is speaking out after her 20-year-old daughter was killed in a wrong way crash.
Hannah Goman’s mother, Michelle Strasser-Goman, is still coming to terms with the loss of her daughter. “Family has been gathering, talking about Hannah, planning her funeral, looking at pictures,” she told WAOW-TV.
Hannah was a sophomore at Winona State University, studying social work and criminal justice.
On February 19, she died after the car she was travelling in was hit by a wrong-way driver. Minnesota State Patrol arrested Adam Anderson, saying he was under the influence of alcohol when he hit the car. Two others died in the crash.
“This has not only taken my 20 year old daughter, my son’s 20 year old sister, my parents’ granddaughter,” Strasser-Goman said.
But she says she has a different idea for how she wants her daughter to be remembered. “Hannah was a fun, life-loving, spunky, wholehearted, determined 20 year old,” she said.
Strasser-Goman said Hannah loved dancing and was dedicated to her faith. The two often served the community together, helping those in need. She said Hannah was honest, and always spoke from the heart. She says Hannah treasured not just her loved ones, but everyone around her.
A fundraiser started to help Hannah’s family has already raised more than $18,000.
