Dr. David J. Doucette

Dr. David J. Doucette, on April 27,2021 of Deptford. Age 56. Beloved partner of William Konieczka. Loving son of Robert E. and Sheila Doucette of Marshfield, MA. Devoted brother of Robert G. Doucette and his late wife Susanne of Plymouth, MA. Loving uncle of Thomas, Nicole and Heather Doucette and great uncle of Jonathan, Michael and Arielle White. David grew up in Marshfield and attended Marshfield High School. Once he attained his BSN at Fitchburg State College, he practiced critical care nursing at Boston Medical Center. In 1990, he left for Philadelphia to attend his two year Nurse Anesthesia Curriculum at Nazareth Hospital’s School of Nurse Anesthesia. For the next few years, he worked at a few of the Philadelphia area health care systems until he began his work with Albert Einstein Medical Center in January 1998 where he remained employed until his death. His recent clinical practice with Einstein was at Center One Surgery Center. David completed a MSN Nurse Anesthesia at St. Joseph University and acquired an EdD at Wilmington University. David was a strong advocate for doctoral degree attainment within Nurse Anesthesia Programs and as such he was an adjunct faculty member at Wilmington University where he helped augment the attainment of the DNP for interested nurse anesthetists. His clinical practice over the years was quite diverse and he participated in the clinical education of countless nurse anesthesia students. David enjoyed lecturing at regional conferences and his humor, blended in these presentations, complimented his intellect quite nicely. Over the years, David developed countless friendships, some going back to his childhood. The most significant was his meeting his partner, Bill Konieczka in 1990. They have been together ever since, sharing their personal joys, triumphs and sorrows. To those who knew David, his ability to be a genuine friend, his caring attributes, his intellect, his humor and his longing to have a great time socially will never be forgotten. A Memorial Service may take place at a future date. Donations in his memory may be made to: Wilmington University --Doctoral Nursing Program, 320 N.
