Jerri was a beautiful person, inside and out. She was a mother, grandmother, and sister to a family that felt so blessed in her presence. Her heart was full of love for her family, friends, and members of the church. She was a hard person to get ahold of, as she was always keeping herself busy. She enjoyed spending time outdoors in the garden, pampering herself with facials, and spending time with her great-grandchildren. She was a hard working woman with nothing but determination to accomplish whatever was on her mind. Her love for her family was especially shown during the holidays. Her house was the place to be to enjoy some fantastic meals, with a glass of moscato, of course. She will be missed dearly by everyone who had the chance to love and know her kind soul.
