It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the
peaceful passing of Douglas Hanson at York Care Centre on Thursday,
February 16, 2023 at the age of
85.
Born in
Fredericton, Doug was the son of the late Lee and Addie (Williams)
Hanson. With his four brothers and one sister, they lived in downtown
Fredericton in the area known as «Rabbit Town». Much of his
early life involved horses, with sleigh rides in the winter and saddle
rides in the summer.
Known as a tireless
and strong worker, he began at an early age delivering groceries and
later helped deliver the mail by wagon or sleigh. Doug would go on to
spend many years delivering concrete blocks and bricks around the
province, often loading and unloading them by hand. In the late 80s,
he moved into long-haul truck driving and travelled millions of miles
across Canada and the U.S. He would frequently drop in on old friends
while also making new friends along the way. He finally retired nine
years ago at the age of 77.
Doug was a patient,
kind, and generous man, always appreciative of everyone. He was also
known for his storytelling abilities, which made him a hit with many
nieces and nephews. He was a member of Journey Church, where he made
lifelong friends and spent many years driving a Sunday school
bus.
Doug was the
ultimate family man. He had a deep love for his late wife Lynette
(Woodworth), who passed away four months ago. They were married for 55
years and she would occasionally serve as his co-pilot on his
long-distance trips. He was a strong supporter and trusted advisor to
his children and their families, and he took great joy in hearing of
the adventures and accomplishments of his
grandchildren.
He leaves behind
his children Jeff (Lynn) of Fredericton, Greg (Shera) of Browns Flat,
Patti Lynn (Geoffrey Brown) of Fredericton and his grandsons Josh,
Matt, Nate & Noah. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law
Dr. G. Fred Woodworth of Fredericton and Darrell (Barb) Woodworth of
Lake George, his sister-in-law Miriam Hanson, and several nieces and
nephews.
In addition to his
wife & parents, he was predeceased by his brothers Harold
(Joyce), Aubrey (Faye), Ken, and Carl, his sister Glenna (Gordon)
Robinson, his parents in law Linwood & Glenna (Cliff)
Woodworth, and his sister-in-law Deanna
Woodworth.
A time of
visitation will be held at Journey Church (131 Duncan Lane,
Fredericton) on Tuesday, February 28th, beginning at 12pm. The
Celebration of Life will follow at 2pm in the Journey Church worship
centre. The service will be live streamed via the Journey Wesleyan
Church website at journeychurch.ca/specialevents?fbclid=IwAR19BuBR3Bl5Xk9h19H67Gs7LHBKu0d02CNDZCZfQXEZC4DqP-rSRudHFW0.
A private interment will be held at a later date. Arrangements have
been entrusted to the care of Bishop’s Funeral
Home.
The family would
like to express gratitude to the staff of York Care Centre. Their
kindness and care made such a difference and he appreciated everything
they did. In lieu of flowers, donations in Doug’s memory can
be made to York Care Foundation, the Alzheimer’s Society of
New Brunswick, Journey Church or the charity of the donor’s
choice.
