BOULDER, Colo. — Saturday morning marked the end of a more-than-year-long struggle with breast cancer for Leson Dunkley-Hansen, a former teacher at Boulder Community School of Integrated Studies and a mother of four.

Dunkley-Hansen was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. The cancer eventually spread to her brain and lungs and caused her to stop teaching her fifth-grade class in March 2008. She died Saturday.
