The Reverend Dr. Kenneth A. Fiery, 88, longtime Nashua resident, passed away at his home, Sunday morning, April 3, 2022, after a brief illness.        

    Born in Washington, DC on March 21, 1934, he was a son of the late Robert and Elinor (Bowker) Fiery. An Air Force veteran, Dr. Fiery served from 1954 to 1957.

Ken married Rosemary Bagwell, also of Washington, DC on May 14, 1955 at the Riverdale Presbyterian Church in University Park, Maryland.
