Obituary for Douglas Quanbury
Doug Wayne Quanbury
Doug passed away December 4th in his 77th year. Liz will miss her best friend and husband of 54 years. Together they raised 5 children: Michael (Caroline), Bryan (Sandra), Kevin (Jo Anne), Jessie predeceased (Asif), Mindy predeceased.
Doug's lucky number was 13 and he had 13 grandchildren who will miss his many stories: Ashton, Monty, Chase, Georgia, Bryce, Emma, Graydon, Katrina, Christian, Elliot, Jasmin, AJ and Lachlan.
Doug was raised in a family of six in Georgetown: Jack predeceased, AnneMarie (Bill Maveal), Rick (Velma predeceased), Dick and Gary predeceased (Terrasita) by parents Ray and Laura (both predeceased). He will be missed by his sisters and brothers in law Judy and Tom MacDonald, Elma Clark, Mary Lynn and Colin McDermid as well as his nieces Jodi, Melissa and Denise and nephews Bradley, Ryan, Chris, Alex, and Graeme.
Doug graduated from Ridgetown Agricultural College (University of Guelph) and was hired by Beaver Lumber where he managed several stores and worked in head office. After moving to Stayner Doug and Liz opened their own business in 1976 and successfully with the help of family operated Quanbury Decorating Center. Later they developed Huron Meadows in Stayner and Doug was so proud to see the success of that project.
Doug was involved with service clubs; help form the Chamber of Commerce in Stayner and the Georgian Triangle Tourist Assoc. He was an elder of Jubilee Presbyterian Church Stayner.
Doug had a great love of sports, playing hockey, coaching, and following his children and grandchildren's games.
Doug and Liz retired to Creemore, and Doug so enjoyed his participation with Ray's Place, Station on The Green, curling, book club and especially the family of friends he had at Mad River Golf Club.
Doug loved people and when he met you would ask your name, where you lived and learn as much about you as he could. As a result, he was a friend to many. A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday December 7, 2022, from 1-3 p.m. with remembrances at 2 p.m. at the Station on the Green in Creemore. In Doug's memory the family would gratefully accept donations to the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital.
