Douglas George MacIsaac

Douglas “Doug” MacIsaac, 81, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025, with his family present.

He was born on July 8, 1943, in Boston, MA to George and Mildred (Hurlbert) MacIsaac. He graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in North Boston and attended Northeastern University.

Doug lived in Mexico, ME for over 40 years with his “Star Shine,” his wife, Ann Marie. They had a beautiful marriage of nearly 57 years, full of love, happiness, and deep devotion. Doug’s greatest joy and sense of pride was being a husband, “Dad” to 10 children and their spouses, and “Papa” to 18 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He lived his life with honesty, integrity, and respect, all of which he instilled in his children and grandchildren through life lessons and by his example.

After a long career as a computer programmer and data analyst he retired in 2008 from the New Page Paper Mill in Rumford, ME. Devoted to his Catholic faith he served on the parish council of St. Teresa’s church of Mexico, ME and taught many years as a CCD teacher. Due to his strong sense of community and belief in education he volunteered on the local school board.

As a teenager he enjoyed spending summers at his family’s cottage on Peaks Island. His many interests included playing chess, full-size and model trains, Sunday drives to explore the backroads of Maine, family genealogy which he proudly shared with all he met along the way. He loved to paint, still enjoying this activity in the last couple of weeks of his life.

Doug is survived by his wife, Ann Marie; his son Andrew and his wife Tricia; son Bernie; daughter Allyson (Denyer) and her husband Jeff; son Duncan and wife Heather; son Arthur; daughter Genevieve (Chaloult); son Lincoln and his wife Annie; son Matthew and his wife Amanda; son Jonathan and his wife Melissa; daughter Siobhan and her fiancé Darrell; Grandchildren – Jarrett, Trenton, Jake, Cassidy, Ayden, Severen, Anna, Paris, Ava, Connor, Sophie, Caelynn, Dylan, Drew, William, Arloe, Brady and Jack; Great-grandchildren – Maddox, Mordecai and Max; Siblings - Phyllis, Donald, Laura, Linda and Joann and their significant others;  Sister-in-law - Kim MacIsaac; Brother-in-law – Frank Anderson; and many nieces and nephews.
