SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. – It is with a heavy heart that we announce Donald Andrew “Donnie” Moulton, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away on December 3, in Saint Petersburg, at the age of 81.
Donnie was born on December 11, 1942, in Lebanon, N.H., the son of Robson E. and Margaret (Nelson) Moulton. He attended elementary schools in Woodstock and Shelburne, Vt. The family later moved to Hardwick, Vt., where he attended junior high and high school years at Hardwick Academy.

Donnie was drafted into the US Army in 1966. He was stationed in Fayetteville, N.C., before being deployed to Vietnam. He was honorably discharged from active duty in 1968 and returned to his family in Hardwick.

He enjoyed hunting, camping, and playing cards, but most of all he was a homebody. He loved spending time with his family. Those who knew Donnie will remember him not only for his talents but for his warm and inviting presence.
