Douglas Peter Hardenne

1932 – 2015

Doug passed away peacefully at Sherbrooke Nursing Home on Tuesday, November 3, 2015. Doug was born in Shaunavon, SK. The oldest of three, he grew up there and that is where he met Darlene Knippshild, the love of his life. Together they raised seven children. Doug had many loves. Firstly and most important was his family. The second most important thing was his AA. Doug and Darlene together helped so many people and families during their years in Shaunavon. Doug loved his AA meetings and socializing. He also loved dancing, singing, playing the accordion, hunting and fishing. His love of travel kept him and Darlene busy on many bus tours, meeting people from all over the country. During these trips they made many longtime friends. Doug owned and operated Doug’s Autobody, Shaunavon Greenhouse and Flower Shop and D+D Ceramics. All were family affairs which Darlene and all of their children worked and helped out in. Doug spent his last four years in Sherbrooke Nursing Home where he was given the best of care. We cannot thank them enough for their compassion, caring and the love they gave.
