one that lived. Fred and his father became partners on the ranch until his

sheep. Fred was not fond of the sheep. He always said that was his dad’s
preference, and he preferred the cattle.

four children. They began their lives together on the Fox Ranch, moving
later to a ranch in Mitchell, then on to Unity and John Day area. After re-
tirement, they purchased a home in Prineville.
After the passing of his wife June, Fred was fortunate to meet a wonder-
ful lady, Mary Ann Tooley. Mary Ann and her family became an important
part of his life. For 10 years they were great companions. They enjoyed
taking trips and spending time together until her passing.
He enjoyed working on the ranch, fi shing, reading, playing pinochle, at-
tending church at the First Assembly of God, spending time with his fam-
ily and friends. Fred loved and lived life to the fullest and was known for
his contagious smile, kindness, sweet spirit, integrity, honesty and work
ethic. He was an amazing man and loved by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Hans and Edith Hanson, his
wife, June Hanson, and his son, Wayne Hanson.
Survivors include his daughter Marla and (Bill) Nash of Beaverton,
Oregon, daughter Sue and (Don) Page of Prineville, son Jeff and (Brenda)
