Doug Hansen

October 27, 1932 – June 7, 2020
Obituary of Doug Hansen
IN THE CARE OF

Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home

Henry Douglas “Doug” Hansen, known to his grandchildren as “Pops”, passed away

peacefully at the age of 87 with his loving family by his side on June 7th, 2020. He was

born in South Bend, Indiana and later moved to Fresno, California to start his family.

Doug is survived by his loving wife Janet of 65 years, his son Mark Hansen and his wife

Maria and his daughter Patty Ringel and her husband Paul. His life and legacy

continue with his eight grandchildren, Jason, Briana, Danny, Justin, Matthew and his

wife Katie, Jordan and Thomas, his two great-grandsons Maverick and Walker, and a

great-granddaughter on the way.

During their 65 years together, Doug and Janet savored every moment with one

another. Their two children kept them active with family vacations to the mountains

and coast. With the arrival of their grandchildren, their love and fun continued to

grow. Road trips to the coast, camping and fishing trips with his grandsons, golfing

with his friends and date nights with his wife filled Doug’s social calendar.

Doug served his country as a United States Marine and actively served during the

Korean War. When he completed his military service, he began a career as a letter

carrier for the United States Postal Service. Upon retirement, Doug served his local

community as an active member of the Men’s Club and as a lector at Holy Spirit

Catholic Church. He was also a member of the Fresno SIR’s fraternal service

organization.

In the coming weeks a private Memorial Mass will be held for Doug at Holy Spirit

Catholic Church in Fresno, California. His family will be having a Celebration of Life

open to all friends and relatives in the coming months.
