Hannah attended [[Tokoroa High School]] where she played netball, softball and hash harriers. In 1976, she dropped out of school at the age of 15 and found work at the [[SuperValue]] supermarket in Tokoroa. She met her future husband [[Brian Tamaki]] (who was two years older) and the two developed a romantic relationship. In August 1978, the couple moved to [[Te Awamutu]] where Brian became the manager at a dairy farm belonging to one of his relatives. In February 1979, Hannah gave birth to the couple's first child, Jasmine.{{sfn|Lineham|2013|p=26}} Hannah bore a second daughter, named Jamie, 14 months later.{{sfn|Lineham|2013|p=33}}

In early 1979, Hannah underwent a "[[born-again]]" experience after Brian's parents Duke and Margaret Tamaki underwent a born-again experience following a meeting with Pastor Roy Beach, a former motorcycle-gang member turned pastor. The couple subsequently returned to Tokoroa in August 1979, staying with Basil. Hannah resumed her supermarket job while Brian found work tree-felling. Brian subsequently underwent a similar born-again experience in late 1979. The couple married on 22 March 1980.{{sfn|Lineham|2013|p=29-32}}

During that period, Hannah gave birth to a son named Samuel. Hannah also took two courses at the Bible college, gaining an understanding of [[Christian theology]]. After Brian completed his ministerial training at Te Nikau Bible College, Hannah returned to her supermarket job.

Hannah accompanied her husband as he pastored Rosetown Community Church in [[Te Awamutu]] and Lake City Church in Rotorua during the 1980s and 1990s. While in Te Awamutu, Hannah coached a netball team in order to increase their church's local contacts.
