Ever since the death of her husband, Hannah has had many lovers with no commitment to any of them, preferring to just have “some touching every day” (44). Sula watched her burn one day while lighting a yard fire; Hannah was badly scarred after the accident, and died on the way to the hospital.

It is also discovered that her life insurance went to Sula, who used some for her college tuition.**
