Georgia Jean Doerr

Georgia, or Jean, as she preferred, graduated from Brainerd High School in 1947, where she was a drum majorette. Jean continued her education at the Minneapolis School of Business. Upon her return to Brainerd, she worked in the Crow Wing County Register of Deeds office. Later, she worked for the Minnesota Valley Natural Gas Company until 1964. While working at the gas company, she met the love of her life, Norman M. Doerr. They married on July 22, 1961. The couple was blessed with two sons, Rodney and Clinton.

Jean adored both of her sons and enjoyed helping them with homework, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and encouraged religion and music. Jean was a fabulous cook and also enjoyed reading, sewing, exercising, and traveling. She was thrilled when she could spend time with her five grandchildren.

Jean's mother, Gladys, lived with Norm and Jean since 1967. When Gladys was ill in her later years, Jean selflessly took care of her until Gladys passed away in 1988.

Those left to celebrate Jean's remarkable life include her husband of 64 years, Norman Doerr of Chandler, AZ; her sons and their families Rod, (Jan), Brent, Brian, and Braeden of Omaha, NE, Clint, (Allison), Kendall, and Jakob of Houston, TX.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Gladys and Patrick Caulfield.

Funeral services and burial will be held on November 20, 2025 beginning at 10:00am at Valley of the Sun Mortuary and Cemetery located at 10940 E. Chandler Heights Rd., Chandler, AZ, 85226. Following the services, there will be a light luncheon served at the mortuary.

In lieu of flowers, Jean and the Doerr family would be honored if support in her name could be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association alz.org
