"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” Matthew 5:4
Jan Dowd, 67, of Colleyville Texas left the earthly realm on February 13, 2019.
Jan was born to James and Ruby Craghead in Amarillo Texas on Independence Day, 1951. She ironically shared her birthday with her grandfather and later, her great niece.
As a child, Jan acted in commercials for local Amarillo television stations and later modeled during high school. She attended Amarillo public schools and was a member of the Sandie Steppers Drill Team of Amarillo High School where she graduated in 1969.
Jan attended Texas Tech University, majoring in finance. At 35, she became an investment banker, a career that enabled her to support many causes close to her heart. She retired in 2002 as a Sr. Vice President and office manager of a national investment firm. Twice, Jan was nominated as “Woman of the Year” by the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce. She spent several years on the board of directors for All Faiths Receiving Home in Albuquerque NM, helping abused and abandoned children; United Way, and following a cancer diagnosis of her then husband Richard “Dick” Clowe, the New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation.
Richard passed away in 2013. Jan continued to volunteer at the USO at DFW. In 2016 she began serving on the board of directors for IOBS Corp., and continued to support research into cancer and childhood illnesses.
On May 6, 2017, she married Judge Steven M. Dowd in a private ceremony in Denver, CO. She and her husband became active members of the Empty Nesters Sunday School Class of White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake. Through the church with Steve, Jan found a new path to helping people and, especially, children.
She is survived by her husband, Judge Steven M. Dowd of Colleyville, her daughter Julie Clowe and son in law Rodney Nelson of Richmond VA, her son MAJ Jason Clowe and daughter in law Nikki of Honolulu HI, and her son Bryan Clowe and daughter in law Devon of San Antonio as well as 5 grandsons, Nicholas, Brenden, Iain, James, and Connor; her sister Carol Pipes and brother in law Bill of Richmond VA, step-children, step grandkids, numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, family and friends who will miss her dearly.
