Jerry Lynn Simpson

Jerry Lynn Simpson, 82, passed away surrounded by his family on April 20, 2022 at Sunrise Senior Living in Baton Rouge, LA, after a hard fought battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Jerry was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and lived there all of his life prior to moving to Baton Rouge 3 years ago. He was an avid Alabama fan.

One of the greatest joys of his life was owning Gertrude’s Flowers of Tuscaloosa with his wife, Sandra Black Simpson. He continued to bless others with his gift of creating beautiful flower arrangements for many years during retirement. He exemplified a loving, generous, life of service to the Lord, his family and others and he will be greatly missed.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Sandra Black Simpson; daughter, Stephanie Simpson Boudreaux, (husband, John) and son Tim Simpson, (wife, Shelley). Jerry was the proud “Poppa” to 6 grandchildren: Maggie, Libby and John Lawson Boudreaux and Ethan, Gideon and Corban Simpson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd Earl and Ollie Mae Simpson along with 6 brothers and 3 sisters.

The family would like to thank Sunrise for their superb care of “Mr. Jerry”. A memorial service to honor Jerry’s life will be held at Tuscaloosa Memorial Chapel Funeral Home on Sunday, April 24.
