CENTER SANDWICH — Donald K. MacDougall, 82, of Center Sandwich, passed away on Aug. 13, 2018, at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center hospice center.

Born in Laconia in 1936, Don spent his early boyhood in The Weirs. He graduated from Laconia High School in 1955. He married his high school sweetheart, Ruth Doan, in 1957.

After serving two years in the U.S. Coast Guard, he graduated from Keene State College with a bachelor of education degree in 1961. In 1970, he received his master’s degree in library science from the University of New Hampshire.

Don taught English at the high schools in Sharon, Massachusetts, and Lisbon, and then he and Ruth relocated to England where Don was a dormitory counselor at the U.S. Air Force high school in Lakenheath. When he and Ruth returned to the United States, Don became the librarian at Somersworth High School and Kings-wood Regional High School.

Don and Ruth lived in Farmington before settling in Center Sandwich in 1976. He did caretaking for properties in the Lakes Region, including Bald Peak Colony Club.

Don is survived by Ruth, his wife of 60 years; his brother Richard Kirk Dougal of St. Augustine, Florida; and his sister Deborah Kay Dougal of Franklin.
