Obituary for Thomas Elliott "Ted" Doughty Jr.
If God ever made a perfect Christian husband, it was Ted. He was always a very special blessing from God to me. He was the best of the best. Ted was very loving, giving, thoughtful, considerate, generous, and helpful to me and all of our family. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved his family very, very much, especially, Stacey Gentry Morrison (his granddaughter, whom he called his angel). We had 39 years of wonderful married life. He loved to hunt in Montana and those trips were very special to him. We will always love him and miss him with all our hearts.
