WOOLDRIDGE, Douglas Ellery – November 27, 1954 - December 30th, 2021
It is with a mix of feelings that we announce the passing of Douglas Wooldridge on Dec. 30, 2021.
While only 67, the last 5 months of suffering from IPF is behind him and now Heaven is his new home!
Born in Lindsay, Doug moved to Durham Region where he eventually attended McLaughlin C.V.I. and worked various jobs including, Dunlop Plastics (Extrusion).
I, Marilyn have lost the kind, gentle, loving adventurer that was my comical friend and husband for an almost combined 35 years.
Our daughter (Timber), lost her earthly father, full of love, guidance and quirky humour!
Doug’s life was full of health-related challenges, but he tried to make the most of it, right to the very end.
His love of life and, for nature, was contagious.
Who else could brag about having a pet groundhog and, a birdfeeder that fed the whole “host” of Gods’ animal kingdom at one time!
In addition to Timber and myself, Doug leaves behind a number of siblings: Diane, Dave, Don (Cathy), Donna, Karen (Gary) Phillips, Kim (Kelly pre-deceased) Trapp, and a good mix of nieces, nephews, and cousins. Not to be forgotten are Larry (Char) Genge and Teddy Coons; lifelong friends and Brian Newton – a newer, but equally valued friend. Sadly, Doug’s brother Dean predeceased him at a very young age; as have both parents, aunts and uncles.
With thanks to the ICU – Lakeridge Health for their exemplary care.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life”… John 3:16
