On Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020 Doug Doeden, loving husband and father of four children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren passed away at the age of 76.
Doug was born to Harris Oliver and Jennie Doeden in Sibley, Iowa on April 2, 1944. He moved to a farm located in the Lake Wilson, Minnesota area at the age of 10 with his parents and siblings. Doug attended country school and finished his education at Lake Wilson High School. After graduation he farmed with his dad and worked at the Lake Wilson lumberyard. On November 6, 1965 he married Arlis Nepp. Doug and Arlis along with their family moved to Slayton, Minnesota in 1970 where Doug began employment with UBC Lumberyard. In 1972 Doug and his family moved to Groton, SD where he was manager of the lumberyard in Groton. He continued to work at the S & S Lumberyard for Larry Schelle until he retired due to health reasons. Doug and Arlis raised two sons, Troy and Toby, and two daughters, Jodi and Jill.
Doug had a passion for many sports activities. He was awarded best supporting fan while attending high school. His love of sports continued throughout his life within his family and community. Doug coached youth basketball and enjoyed every minute. He loved his family and friends with a passion and never tired of spending time with his grandchildren. Doug loved playing and winning Euchre. He also enjoyed house renovation and remodeled several homes in Groton. In 1996 Doug and Arlis, and their son Toby and his wife Liz opened Paints n’ More and after purchasing the old bank building added Olde Bank Christmas Shoppe to the mix. Doug truly enjoyed his years in this business.
Doug’s friends and family enjoyed his quick wit and unusual way of communicating. Groton transit became a very important pillar in his life. Doug loved his years of service to the community transit.
