Jean C. DuPont

Jean Christie DuPont, 81, passed away peacefully on Monday August 7th, 2023, with her loving family by her side.
Born November 25th, 1941, in Sheboygan, WI to Helen (Gillespie) and Larry Zuehlke, Jean grew up on the family farm in Neosho, WI. She had a lifelong love of animals, especially horses and dogs.
She married Earl DuPont, Jr. (Dewey) and settled in Hartford, WI where they raised their three children. Jean worked at the Hartford Golf Club for 33 years, first in the kitchen and then later joined Dewey as the owners of Jean and Dewey's Pro Shop.
Jean had a deep love for her family and will be greatly missed. She enjoyed connecting with people and was a friend to many and a stranger to none. She had a passion for refinishing antiques and gardening. Jean was also an excellent cook and hostess.
Jean was preceded in death by her parents; son Ivon DuPont; sister Marie Ralston; brother David Zuehlke; mother-in-law Veronica DuPont; and father-in-law Earl DuPont, Sr.
She is survived by her husband; her daughters Laura (Travis) Stein and Margaret (Greg) Hoier; and her daughter-in-law Karen DuPont. She is also survived by her grandsons David and Jacob DuPont, Ryan and Jameson Stein and Evan and Ty Hoier along with her sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews.
