Douglas Ross

Douglas Allen Ross, 71, of Martinsburg, passed away Tuesday, March 13, 2018, at the Winchester Medical Center.

Born July 4, 1946, in Oak Ridge, TN, he was the son of the late John Ross and Veronica Husarchik Ross.

Growing up in Weirton, WV, he worked with his father in the electrical trade. After graduating high school, he served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany. He earned his B.S. from the University of Maryland.

Doug lived in Germany for 20 years working as a civilian with the defense department. Upon returning to the United States, he started his own business.

He loved his life, and he took his fun with him wherever he went. He had a hardy, quirky laugh and a sense of humor to match.

His ever growing curiosity led him to acquire numerous skills, which he liked to share with others. Among his interests were repairing watches, bicycling, exploring small towns, yard sales and flea markets.

He is survived by his wife, Janeille Yvonne Sigler; his children, Christopher Ross (Tiffany) and Carolyn Ross Wood (Jason); six grandchildren; five brothers, Richard (Margaret), Charles (Suggie), Donald (Gloria), John, and Joseph (Tricia) Ross; and one sister, Claire Kuhns (Ron).

He was preceded in death by one sister, Karen Moskal.

Services and interment will be private. Memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements by Brown Funeral Home.
