Jerri was a wonderful combination of speaking out for her beliefs and a heart of gold was always willing to help out no matter what the cause. We will miss her very much.

My wife and I have known Jerri for more years than I can remember. I worked with her husband, John, at Hasbro for many years, he with Playskool and me with games. After we retired we spent many great times together going out to dinner, and we continued to visit with Jerri after John passed. He was missed and now we have lost another good friend. Rest in peace Jerri.

I met Jerri when we were in the third grade at Central College grade school. She was my lifelong red haired friend. I was their witness when she married John. I will miss both of them.
