Obituary for Douglas Oscar "Doug" Anderson

Douglas (Doug) Oscar Anderson, 91 of Manistee passed away peacefully Sunday morning, September 30, 2018 at his home.
He was born September 15, 1927 in Eastlake, the son of the late Oscar and Elvera (Engwall) Anderson. He was a member of the Army during WWII and retired after 42 years as a service man for Consumers Power. He married his beloved Mary Jane (Hogan) on June 4, 1955.
He was a member of the Manistee Golf and Country Club and the Elks. He enjoyed fine woodworking, and his children and grandchildren are all lucky to have his handmade pieces in their homes. He was an amazing gardener and shared his produce with lots of friends and family. He was also an avid hunter and enjoyed hanging out at the shanty with his brothers.
Doug was preceded in death by Mary Jane in 2010 after 56 years of marriage, his son John Allan Anderson in 1994, and his sister Margaret Matson.
He is survived by his son Paul Anderson of Manistee and his children Tyler (Amy) and Reed, daughter Melissa (Kevin) Gregory of Colorado and their children John and Elyse, David (Laurie) Anderson of Midland and their children Corey and Kiara; by his siblings Beverly (Dick, deceased) Volgstadt of Manistee, Allan (Sue) Anderson of Manistee, June (Jim, deceased) LaBar of Mt. Clemens, and Jack (Carroll) Anderson of Manistee; and most importantly Tyler and Amy’s baby Zevi Oscar, his first great-grandson. He is also survived by numerous and well-loved nieces and nephews, and his favorite grand-dog Yeti.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated Friday morning, October 5 at 10:00 a.m. at Guardian Angels Catholic Church with Father Lawrence Sergott, celebrant. Doug & Mary Jane will be interred at Oak Grove Cemetery following the Mass. The family will receive friends at the church from 9:00 AM until time of Mass.
