Douglas Anderson
MAY 19, 1944 ~ JULY 6, 2022 (AGE 78)
Douglas Harry Anderson was born on May 19, 1944, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His parents were the late Harry James and Lena (Brown) Anderson. He attended Hopkins High School, graduating with the Class of 1962.
On September 17, 1962, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving his country until his honorable discharge on June 21, 1966.
Douglas was united in marriage to Jeanette Ardell Moen on June 1, 1968, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Henning, Minnesota. Their marriage was blessed with two sons: Nathan and Anthony. They made their home in Deephaven, Minnesota while Douglas attended Brown Institute specializing in computer software. He was employed at Munsingwear as a computer programmer.
After several years in Christian Ministry and Mission Work, Douglas and Jeanette decided to settle in Long Lake, Minnesota where they lived for 30 years. He was employed as a computer programmer and later as a systems analyst at St Paul Companies and Blue Cross Blue Shield. During this time, he became active with Habitat for Humanity and the MS bike rides. He participated in the Habitat for Humanity Ironman, riding his bike across Minnesota 10 consecutive summers and multiple MS rides. When he retired in 2011, he and Jeanette moved to Henning, Minnesota to be closer to Jeanette's family. He helped with the Moen Family Reunion and created a book of the Moen family history which he continued to edit as he received more information. His sons got him hooked on collecting baseball cards which lead to other collections of Raisinets, Crayola Crayon Sets and shot glasses of places they had visited.
Preceding him in death are his parents: Harry and Lena; brother and sister-in-law, Ronald (HHS-1950) and Jackie Anderson; sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn (HHS-1948) and Orv Loftmess; and sister and brother-in-law, Barbara (HHS-1954) and Lee Riddle.
