Georgetta Rae Dougherty

Georgetta Rae Dougherty passed away on February 8^th, 2019 after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer.  Georgie was surrounded by her loving family in her own home.

Georgie loved all crafts, painting, ceramics, jewelry making, sewing and especially quilting.  She made numerous quilts for everyone.  Georgie’s best friends are the “Quiltettes” here in Montrose.  Her pride and joy was her “Long Arm Quilting Machine” who she named “White Lightning”.  Georgie is also an excellent cook and was always trying new recipes.

Georgetta is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Bruce Dougherty, son David Dougherty (daughter-in-law Melissa Dougherty), daughter Patricia Dougherty, brother in-law David F. Dougherty, grandson Bruce Ray Dougherty, and granddaughter Karen Ann Williams.

There will be no services.  Georgie’s wish was to be cremated with a small family gathering.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hope West Hospice in Montrose, Colorado.  www.hopewestco.org/memorial-gifts.  Go to make a gift in honor of Georgetta Dougherty. Crippin Funeral Home and Crematory assisted the family.
