Douglas Bush Marshall, 85, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away on April 7, 2026.
Born on December 12, 1940, in Hartford, Connecticut, Doug was the son of Alfred H. Marshall and Betty Marshall. He was raised in West Hartford and graduated from Avon Old Farms School before graduating from Norwich University.
Doug proudly served as a Captain in the United States Army, including service in Korea. Following his military service, he built a long and successful career in the financial services industry.
He was the devoted husband of Ellyn Madigan Marshall for 56 years, and a loving father to Schuyler Marshall Morris (Brent) and Douglas Bush Marshall Jr. “Toby”. He was a proud and adoring grandfather to Bear, and is also survived by his sister, Mary M. Rice. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Robert W. Marshall.
Doug was a devoted husband, father, son, and brother. He spent cherished summers at Camp Dudley, an experience that remained close to his heart throughout his life. In retirement, he made his home in Vero Beach, where he enjoyed time with family and friends. He was a member of The Hartford Golf Club and The Johns Island Club.
Known for his quick wit and unforgettable one-liners, Doug had a remarkable sense of humor that brought joy to everyone around him. He was kind, gentle, and deeply loved. He had a special affection for his many dogs and a fondness for a cold Bud Light.
A memorial service will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church in West Hartford, Connecticut.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the VNA Hospice House of Vero Beach.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness that will be remembered always.
