Jeri was the daughter of Ellsworth and Kathryn (Lindstrom) Becker. She was united in marriage to Dave Hatz on August 23, 1969 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Their beautiful love story began when they were in the 7th Grade.
Jeri travelled the world on two 80-day world cruises, a 40-day South Pacific, and 40-day North Cape cruise (Russian ports) with her loving grandmother, Edith. Jeri was an amazing quilter. She made beautiful quilts for her family and other organizations. She was part of the Quilt Guild. Most importantly, Jeri was a caregiver to her family. She was an outstanding mother and excelled at being home with her family. She gave her time to others and always provided her undivided attention. When she was promoted to “Grandma” she enjoyed every moment of her special time with her grandkids. Jeri enjoyed playing Bridge, family time and get-togethers. Words cannot express what a beautiful person Jeri was inside and out.
Jeri is survived by her husband, Dave; children Lisa (Jimmie) Hinson-Hatz and Matthew (Laura) Hatz; grandchildren Carter, Isla, Brea; Brother Brian Becker; Sister Gale Venti; and two granddogs Rosie and Hazel.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ellsworth and Kathryn Becker.
