Douglas Shiflet Obituary

Douglas Fraser Shiflet, 46

MAGNOLIA - Douglas Fraser Shiflet, left this world on Friday, June 19, 2009, to continue his journey with the Lord. Doug fought an exhausting but valiant fight against dysautonomia and left a long string of miracles in his life, which ended much too soon. He was 46. He was born Nov. 9, 1962 in Roslyn, N.Y. Doug worked diligently for the U.S. Postal Service, where he followed in his fathers footsteps. His hobbies included boating, fishing, and watching his New York Giants. Doug is survived by a devoted and loving wife, Mara Jones-Shiflet; six amazing children, Gabrielle Shiflet, Patrick Shiflet, Alexander Jones, Jacqueline Shiflet, Robert Shiflet and Paige Shiflet; his loving parents, Dolores and Robert Shiflet Sr. of Warminster, Pa.; siblings, Robert Shiflet Jr. and his wife Sharon of Kennett Square, Pa., and Karen Gibney and her husband Thomas of Center Moriches, N.Y.; brother-in-law, Scott Rodgville and sister-in-law, Megan Rodgville of Elkridge, Md.; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Helene and Harvey Rodgville of Millsboro; his Godfather, Sam Cavalieri; nieces and nephews, Emily Shiflet, Kate Shiflet, Molly Shiflet, Hannah Shiflet, Erin Gibney, Matthew Rodgville, and Katie Rodgville; and his two beautiful Goddaughters, whom he was so proud of, Colleen Shiflet and Kaitlin Gibney. He also leaves behind dear friends and an amazing ex-wife. Doug left his children a legacy filled with courage, honor and compassion. We are so blessed. Both his life and death taught us priceless lessons. The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 at Pippin Funeral Home, 119 W. Camden-Wyoming Ave., Wyoming. A memorial service will be 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 24 at St. Johns Lutheran Church, Lotus St., Dover to celebrate Doug's life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to Delaware Hospice, 911 S. DuPont Hwy., Dover, DE 19901. Letters of condolences can be sent via www.pippinfuneralhome.com.

My most heartfelt condolences go out to the Shifletts: Uncle Bob, Aunt Dee, Karen and Bob. I was shocked and terribly saddened to hear of Dougie's passing, as he was a member of our extended Bobcat La. family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so saddned when my Mom called me to tell me that Dougie Shiflet passed away. I couldn't possibly tell a story of my childhood with out one the Shiflets being part of it. Whether it be a simple summer day, playing roller hockey in the street and then swimmimg in the Shiflets pool, or going to West Point for Thanksgiving, what an amazing experience for a young girl, thanks again to the Shiflets. Aunt Dee and Uncle Bob, i am so sorry for your loss and know that God will see you through. If he leads you to it, he will get you through it. You are in my prayers.

To the Shiflet Faqmily, who was a major influence in my life . Growing up with them on Bobcat Lane was a wonderful time for me. Uncle Bob was my sponsor for my confirmation and aunt Dee was my brother buds . They were like family to us. We saw them every day and were fortunate enough to have them in our lives. I remember Dougie running after me on our front lawn saying he was going to crown me because I was probably teasing him.Im sure he was a great husband and father who will be greatly missed. lots of love at this of sorrow.
