Douglas Dale Fuhr
Washington
With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to an extraordinary soul, Douglas Dale Fuhr, who gracefully joined his beloved wife, Marge, in the arms of angels on October 21, 2023.
Born January 29, 1934, in Washington, Iowa, Doug embodied the spirit of a true Iowa farm boy, his roots grounded deep in the rich soil of his upbringing. His life was filled by the love story and enjoined with his high school sweetheart, Marge McCleery, also a native Washington, Iowan, who passed too soon in 2012.
Doug is survived by his brother, Richard (Dick) and Louise Fuhr. And his legacy lives on through his children, Matthew Fuhr, Gretchen Shaffner, and Peter Fuhr (DeeAnn Rivera), and his six adoring grandchildren. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in the knowledge that he is reunited with Marge and finds eternal peace in the embrace of the divine.
