Obituary of Doreen Hansen

It is with sadness that the family of Doreen Evelyn Hansen, age 78, wife of David Hansen, announces her death which occurred on Friday, January 12, 2018 at the Sussex Health Centre, surrounded by her loving family.  She was born on December 11, 1939, in Saint John, NB, a daughter of the late George and Evelyn (Creamer) Coyle.

Through her life Doreen maintained a special love for music.  It was shown not only in dancing but also in her choral participation as shown with the champion Barbour Shops Chorus of Guelph.

Mom.......A mentor, leader, hero but most importantly my Best Friend.  There are not enough words one can say to describe what you meant to me and most importantly those around you who you touched everyday.

I will miss our nightly calls, you voice will sing on and your spirit remains strong as ever and a comfort to know your soul is at peace in Heaven.

We will meet again someday but until then spread your wings and fly as high as you want to fly, you've earned it. ~ Love Mike
