JEAN'S OBITUARY

Jean Louise Stachovic, 89, of Cedar Falls, passed away on Monday, March 16, 2020, at the Deery Suites at Western Home Communities.

She was born January 16, 1931, in Davenport, daughter of Arthur and Louise Wulff. Jean was raised by her grandparents, Lena and Charlie Hildebrandt, as her mother, Louise, died from complications following a surgery when Jean was seven years old. She grew up in Davenport, attended public schools and graduated from Davenport High School. Jean worked as a Personal Shopper, then, at the Utilities Company in Davenport.

On November 5, 1955, she married Ed Stachovic at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport. During the next 10 years, Ann, Steve, Karen, Gail and Linda were born. Ed and Jean were married for over 64 years and celebrated their 89th birthdays together in January 2020.

In addition to being a loving wife, mother and grandmother, Jean was a volunteer at Sartori Memorial Hospital (now MercyOne – Cedar Falls) for 20 years. She gave countless hours working at the Information Desk, Gift Shop and scheduling the other volunteers. Jean also volunteered at the annual May Breakfast and Festival of Trees. She was a member of P.E.O. Chapter OV in Cedar Falls and attended St. Patrick Catholic Church in Cedar Falls.

Jean was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ed, just 23 days earlier; a daughter, Karen Stachovic; a son, Steve Stachovic; her parents and her brother, Arthur.

She is survived by her daughters, Ann Louise (Kim) Qual of Iowa City, Gail (Ed Flack) Stachovic of Cedar Falls and Linda (Mike) Thode of Cedar Falls; and her grandchildren: Emily (Joshua), Nikolai and Spencer Qual; Tory (Cole) and Keely Flack; and Jack Thode.
