Douglas Doug A Moody

Cumberland - Douglas A. Moody, born April 11, 1951, son of David B. Moody Sr.

(Swanville, ME) and Carrie Elizabeth Moody (Knox, ME), died at home on June 4, 2011 following a 6 month battle with cancer. He passed on as he had lived: peacefully, gently, and surrounded by those who loved him.

Born in Portland, ME and raised in Cumberland, ME he graduated from Greely High School in 1969 and then attended Bates College. Following an internship at the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf, he attended graduate school at Gallaudet University. He spent the remainder of his life working with deaf students, first at The

American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, CT and then returning to the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Governor Baxter School for the Deaf) on Mackworth Island.

His appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and love for animals defined his interests and positive outlook on life. His enthusiasm for life was clearly exemplified by his garrulous personality and shared with others through his home cooking, music, and gatherings in his home for horseshoes and card games. He generously passed along his

appreciation for the beauty of the woods with his son and with scores of other children over the years.

He was predeceased by his parents and his brother Donald E. Moody. He is survived by his son David R. Moody and his brother David B. Moody, Jr. (both of Cumberland, ME).

His stories, laughter, warmth, and legacy will remain in the hearts of everyone his life touched. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Doug’s memory to: The Foundation for Maine’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, 1 Mackworth Island, Falmouth, ME 04105.

In accordance with his wishes, a celebration of his life will be held at his home on Saturday June 11 at 1 pm. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com for more information and to share your condolences, memories and tributes with Doug’s family.
