Dorothy Jean Dockham

 Another limb has fallen from our family tree.

 Dorothy “Jean” Dockham went home to be with her Lord and Savior on September 12, 2024, after peacefully and gracefully enduring, and finally succumbing, to Alzheimer's.

 Jean was born on July 19, 1943, in Douglas, Wyoming to Oscar and Dorothy Metcalf. She graduated from Natrona County High School in 1961. On December 2, 1960, she married the love of her life, Roscoe O. Dockham. On August 8, 1961, they welcomed their first son Charles Dean, followed by a second son, Orrin Eldon on July 18, 1963, and finally, their daughter Tana Jane on November 23, 1964. 

 Dorothy was a full-time homemaker and made a beautiful home for her husband and children. When the children were grown, Jean travelled with Roscoe to job sites throughout the US. It was during this time that she found the love of painting, whether it be on canvas or on clothing. She enjoyed being a part of the Tamah Egyptians, playing cards, bowling, and golfing. Many lives have been impacted by Jean’s generosity, well of wisdom, commitment, and unconditional love. The twinkle in her eyes, her laughter, strength, and artistic gifts will live in us forever, until we meet again.

 She is survived by son, Orrin Dockham and wife Lisa, daughter Tana (Dockham) Maddux, grandchildren Roscoe Dockham and wife Carman, Mandy Blajszczak and husband Eric, Kodi Dockham and wife Tangney, Kendle Jeffs and husband Dillon, Kelsey Dorbrenz and husband Isaac, Joshua Maddux and wife Anna, Mathew Maddux and wife Jessica, Ryan Maddux, 27 great-grandchildren, and sister LeEtta Cole.

 Preceded in death by her husband Roscoe Dockham, son Charles Dockham, grandson Jesse Dockham, grandson Jerry Maddux III, great grandson Isaiah Maddux, great granddaughter Tinlee Dockham, great grandson Jonathan Maddux, father Oscar Metcalf, mother Dorothy Jones, and brother Dean Metcalf.
