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.
