Jeri was such a special person in so many ways. I don’t know of too many people that would welcome her mother in law, myself (Bill’s niece), and two of Bill’s granddaughters to tag along on their “honeymoon “ to Yellowstone but she did. I cherish every trip we took together whether it was to Fall River, Branson, South Dakota or Wyoming. My family is going to miss her so much and we are grateful for the memories we can hold onto.
All our Love- Brian, Kim, Brennan & Cassity
My dear Jeri, we went to Hamilton Jr. High and then to West. We lost contact after that. Finally I saw her at a teacher’s meeting. We had both become elementary teachers. So sorry I didn’t see you more often. Your smile was as special as you were. You were loved by many!
Jerilyn and I grew up together as neighbors on South Laura Street. There is nobody like her. She was a bright, bright light. Always smiling and always so loving and welcoming. She will be missed by so many.
Jeri came into my life when she married my cousin and she soon was a sister. We got to take some wonderful trips together, laughed a lot and I will miss her.
Jeri will be greatly missed. We always enjoyed her company and smile at St. James. Brad and Marilyn Rine
Jeri was always smiling and happy. She was always glad to see everyone. A lovely lady who will be greatly missed.
Goodnight, and Godspeed Jeri, your physical issues are no more. Now in Paradise. Jeri was a kind, caring and loving soul that will be dearly missed, and lovingly remembered. She was the loving wife of Bill, a wonderful childhood, and beyond, friend of mine.
My deepest sympathies to Jeri’s family, friends and loved ones at this saddest of times.
