She worked for Sunset Harbor which encompassed both Meadows Manor East and North and also Fort Harrison Villa. She served as an administrator for several nursing homes in Indianapolis as well. Jerry was passionate about her job, taking wonderful care of her residents and ensuring that the nursing home staff did too. Jerry was a past member of Altrusa and the Union Hospital Service League.
