She had been married for 66 years to Joseph (Joe) Dougherty who preceded her in death just five months ago. She is survived by seven children, Julie (Tom) Hurley, Janelle Moon, Leah (Scott) Rued, Ronald Dougherty, Lori Dolan, Mark (Erin) Dougherty and Daniel Dougherty; fourteen grandchildren, Kathryn Hurley, Jacki (Hurley) Schiltz, Samantha (Hurley) Ness, Stephanie (Moon) Papka, Timothy Moon, Joseph Rued, Alex Rued, Mackenzie Dolan, Michael Dolan, Hayley Dougherty, Bryn Dougherty, Kylie Dougherty, Clare Dougherty and Lucas Dougherty; and four great-grandchildren; Cameran Schiltz, Emmett Schiltz, Aiden Moon and Wyatt Rued. Jean was preceded in death by parents, Helen and Francis Gavin, sisters Dorothy Collins, Jule Hermanson; brothers Joe Gavin, William Gavin and infant son, Gerald. Jean was born on March 26, 1933 in Hanover, IA. Early years on the farm and the loss of her father at a young age instilled in her strong family ties, bravery and work ethic. She was married to Joe on Valentine’s Day in 1953 and, in addition to being a wife, mother and homemaker, she was an invaluable partner in the family Culligan Water Conditioning business. Family was Jean’s “true north” and her life was devoted to building and providing for that family. She modeled joy in the way she gathered family around the table, prepared for holidays and traveled. She modeled character in the way she overcame obstacles and lived her faith. She modeled love in the way she was present in every moment, always willing to lend an ear or give a hug. While early years were spent guiding her children, later years could be spent enjoying her grandchildren – she was the first to be there for a newborn and always ready for overnight visits, tea parties, recitals, graduations, ball games, confirmations, cross-stitch instruction, strawberry jam production, high praise and just being in the moment. During her 57 years in Elkader, she enjoyed deep friendships, ladies golf and luncheons at the Elkader Golf Course, Bridge Club, her commitment to the St. Joseph Church community and her role as a RISE Ltd. Board member. Her legacy of love is immeasurable. The family is deeply grateful for the care and love given to Jean by Jodi and her staff at Helping Hands. Due to gathering size restrictions, family funeral mass will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Elkader with a private inurnment at the cemetery. Memorials are preferred to the Clayton County Food Shelf, P.O. Box 48, St. Olaf, IA 52072 Leonard-Grau Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Elkader, Iowa is assisting the family.
