FORT FAIRFIELD & CARIBOU – Darrell A. Doody, 58, beloved husband of Vaida P. (Henderson) Doody, passed away unexpectedly Monday, June 1, 2009, at his Fort Fairfield residence. He was born December 17, 1950 in Caribou, the son of Floyd and Mable (Doody) Quist. He was a graduate of the Caribou High School, Class of 1969 and was married to Vaida P.
