Doug was born in Orlando, FL on September 22, 1958. He lived in Vermont most of his life with his adoptive parents, William and Marion Fisher, and his adopted sister, Karen Elizabeth Fisher. Doug loved his parents and moved to Florida in their last years to care for them.

Doug attended various schools, ultimately earning his bachelor’s degree through the GI Bill. He was a member of the United States Navy and later in life worked in the produce department at Shaw’s Supermarket in Wilmington, VT. He was an active part of the Wilmington Baptist Church, where his smile would light up the room. He enjoyed participating in activities with the church, including life group gatherings, the annual church picnic, and men’s bible study. He was kind, humble, and gracious, with a strong faith in God. He had a strong work ethic and was very supportive of others. He was generous and enjoyed sharing stories about his family.

Doug is survived by his daughter, Sarah, and his beloved grandchildren. A celebration of life for Doug will be held at the Wilmington Baptist Church on Saturday, May 16, at 3 pm. The family would like to thank the medical staff at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center; the Veterans Hospital in White River Junction, VT; Hospice care at Applewood Center; and members of the Wilmington Baptist Church for the care and support provided during the last months of his life.
