Doris Louise Hansen, 94

Doris Louise (Grimshaw) Hansen, daughter of James Howard and Anna Marie (Fuchs) Grimshaw quietly passed away June 20, 2023, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, after an amazing 94 years of life.

Doris was born in Danbury, Conn., on Sept. 22, 1928. She graduated from Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in 1949 and worked in various capacities in her profession throughout her career.

Doris’ life was defined by her relationship with the Lord. She was full of love for her fellow beings and lived it daily by being a constant source of help and encouragement for those around her. As one of her grandchildren once said, "She is the most gracious person I know.” Behind her gentleness and grace, though, she was tough as nails. Unobtrusively sticking to her convictions often in the face of adversity, she could be strong and determined.

Doris is preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, James, Jean, and Johnny, and her husband Earl. She is survived by her four children, Jonathan Eberle and wife Stephanie; Timothy Eberle; Krista Eberle and husband Marty; and Benjamin Eberle and partner Anja; and two step-children, along with Scott and Terry Hansen and their families. She has six grandchildren with spouses and four great-grandchildren. She leaves us all full of memories and the deepest possible love and admiration for her. Of the many things Doris accomplished in her life, her greatest gift, undoubtedly, was to her family — just by being herself.

A private family service will be held in the future. Please consider reading her full obituary by contacting English Funeral Chapel at: https://www.englishfuneralchapel.com/obituaries
