Theodore “Ted” D. Hanson, 86, passed away on Oct. 24, 2023, at his home in Ash Fork.
He was born Dec. 20, 1936, to Ted and Alta Hanson in Los Angeles, Calif. He retired from the Santa Fe Railroad in March, 1990. An avid outdoorsman, he loved spending time with his family and fishing. He was always happy to pass along his knowledge of the outdoors and was quite gifted at bow making and gunsmithing.
Ted is survived by his wife of 53 years, Sharon; four children, Wade (Angela) of Cortez, Colo., Lynn (Tony) of Murrieta, Calif., Jim (Rebecca) of Winslow and Tina (Brad) of Page; five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; his brother and sister-in-law, Pete and Sheila Daniels; and numerous nieces and nephews, whom he enjoyed spending time with.
Private services are being held and a memorial service will be held at a later date in Winslow.
