Frederick William Hanning of the Elks National Home in Bedford, VA, formerly of Connestee Falls, Brevard, NC, Incline Village, NV, and Tampa, FL, passed away Sunday, January 16, 2011. He was born January 12, 1923 to the late Theodore W. and Mary Forbes Hanning in Washington, CT. He is survived by his beloved wife of 64½ years, Betsy Hotchkiss Hanning.

Fred worked for Curtis 1000 for 22 years before changing directions and managing several resorts, including Waynesville Country Club and Roaring Gap Club in North Carolina, before retiring in 1980.
He loved to travel, visiting all of the continental states and over 15 countries. He spent 15 summers in Incline Village, NV and 21 blessed Christmases at Kanuga in Hendersonville, NC. He was proud of his Swedish heritage and enjoyed both visiting his family in Sweden and hosting his family from Sweden. He was also very proud of his hole-in-one at the golf course at Connestee Falls.
