Alex Hanson
With deep sadness, Alex Hanson passed away peacefully December 5, 2025 after a brief illness. He was born on October 28th , 1936, living his early years in Austin, Manitoba.
He is survived by his sister, Yvonne Anderson (of Carberry) and his 3 daughters– Joanne (James) Gross, Shannon (Darren) Adam and Jennifer (Chris) Johnston, along with 6 grandchildren – Carlie Johnston, Paige and Lucas Adam and Marina, Sara and Megan Gross.
He was predeceased by his wife, Carol, of 60 years on June 12, 2025.
Alex started his Manitoba Hydro career in Lundar and later moved to Killarney where he met Carol.
They started their family in Warren and later moved to McCreary for the next 40 years where he was actively involved in the community with the town council and golf club. He had many other interests, including hockey, hunting and gardening. In retirement, Carol and Alex enjoyed many winters in Texas and Arizona and kept in touch with those friends from all over, including his past Hydro connections.
In 2016 they moved to Carman to be closer to family, making many new acquaintances and re-connected with old friends in the area. Alex became very involved in the golf and curling clubs. He loved tv sports - hockey and curling. He enjoyed the social connections at Meadowood and often traded his garden produce for home baking; puzzling also became a new interest.
A funeral service will be held at Carman United Church on Wednesday, December 17th at 1:00 pm with lunch to follow.
The family would like to extend their gratitude for the care Alex received in the Carman Hospital the past 3 weeks. A donation may be made to the Carman Health Auxiliary in his memory.
