Memorials may be directed to the Alzheimer’s Association. Jean was born on October 22, 1928, in Americus, Indiana, the eldest child of Edward and Ruth (Fawley) Underhill. She attended school at Americus and Delphi, Indiana, and began working at an early age (she claimed to be working by age 8-12). While waitressing at a cafe, she met her future husband Merle, after he returned from service in WWII. Merle and Jean were married on June 28, 1946, in Delphi, Indiana. They were the parents of three sons; Lyle Douglas, Timothy Wayne, and Rokk Alan. Jean and Merle moved to Iowa in the late 1940’s and eventually settled in the Marshalltown area in the early 1950’s. Jean worked at various jobs, but was best remembered for being a friendly and efficient waitress at Taylor’s Maid-Rite in Marshalltown, where she worked for over 35 years. Jean is remembered for her home-cooked meals and love for her family and large extended family. As the oldest sibling of 15 children, Jean felt a lot of responsibility in helping out with many of her younger brothers and sisters. Eventually Jean and Merle took in several of her siblings to live with them until they could get established on their own. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren as well as her sisters and brothers and their families. She looked forward to the annual Underhill and Ridout family gatherings and was a favorite aunt to many of her nephews and nieces. Jean delighted in shopping and collecting bird figurines. She also enjoyed decorating her home, especially for the holidays. When celebrating with her family, she made sure there was no shortage of presents for everyone. She enjoyed traveling to see her siblings in Indiana and Washington and also to see her son and family in Albuquerque, NM. In her later years she loved spending time with Barney, her loyal dog of 13 years who rarely left her side unless he was chasing squirrels. Survivors include her sons Lyle Douglas (Carole) of Marshalltown, Timothy Wayne (Debbie) of Green Mountain, and Rokk Alan (LuAnn) of Alta; grandchildren Ryan (Melody) Ridout, Brady (Rosie) Ridout, Bradley (Karima) Ridout, Brandon (Elizabeth) Ridout, Tressa (Eric) Voss, Jeremiah Ridout, Alyssa (Ryan) Rusk, Gina (Collin) Davis, and Luke (Courtney) Ridout; 23 great-grandchildren; brothers Duane (Denise), Tom (Sheryl), and Dennis (Vicki), sisters Juanita Giles, Shirley Johns, Carol (Larry) Adams, and Sandra Anderson; sisters-in-law Cathy Underhill, Jeannie Underhill, Margaret Ridout, Maurine Ridout, dear friend Linda Underhill; and many loved nephews and nieces. She will also be missed by her furry companion, Barney. Jean was preceded in death by her husband Merle, parents Edward Underhill and Ruth Underhill Edwards, her siblings Eddie, Duke, Stephen, Lenny, Robert, and Patsy Underhill, Marlene Baker, and many other brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Mitchell Family Funeral Home is caring for Jean and her family.
