I remember going to grade school with Jerri and will cherish the times we school mates went on monthly brunches together when we reunited later in life. Miss her dearly, until we meet again ❣️

I remember the times I would stop by and chat for a while when you were working at the mall and we would sometimes go to lunch at Lums.  Great times!!! Later on we  saw each other at our mutual grandchildren's birthday  parties or when you would stop by to pick Ryan up for lunch or to stay a few days at your house when Rich and Cindy were on vacation. Then, due to my deteriorating health,  we saw each other less and less, but I thought of you " Oh so many times" and I'm sure those times will continue.  Please rest in Peace Jerri.



Jerri was a real good friend.  I always enjoyed going to lunch
with her, and our sometimes long phone calls.  I am glad I got
the opportunity to be her friend, and I surely will miss her
dearly.  Jerri, you will now rest in peace!

Love,
Your friend
Marilyn


Your beautiful, genuine smile and overall positive attitude will be deeply missed. Although we are a good distance away we always knew you were there if we needed assistance. Love you Jerri. Rest In Peace.

Grandma, 

I’m going to miss your infectious laugh and remarkable smile. It was impossible to feel down in your presence because you radiated pure joy, warmth, and kindness. You are greatly missed by all.

I love you <3

Jerri, 

Five years is far too short of a time to have known you, but in that short time I was able to see what a truly kind and thoughtful grandmother you were.  I'm thankful for the memories of my time spent with you and I'm privileged to have been able to receive your kindness and acceptance.  Your impact on family, friends, and everyone you touched has shaped us all for the better.  Thank you for this, and rest in peace.  

Much love always, 

Jason

Jerri & I worked together at many restaurants & we hadn't seen or talked to each other for many years! Then we reconnected on Facebook! Jerri was a very kind, precious lady & I will miss visiting with her on Facebook! Rest my friend 🙏🏻

Grandma, 

I'll never forget your kindness when I was growing up.  I'll always cherish the memories of your time with us. You will be missed.

Love you always,

Martina

I'll always have you to thank for my love of Steak N Shake Chili! You are so greatly missed! Love you forever Gma T! <3

Grandma T., 

You will be greatly missed. I will miss how you always checked in on us nearly every other week or so by sending me an email asking how we are doing and checking in on us. I will always cherish our times together and the memories we shared along the way. 

Love, 
Jenny

Jerri became my “other mother “ 44 years ago but she was much more than that. She helped me through some very difficult times in my life. I knew if I ever needed anything she would be there to help me. She took amazing care of my daughter Andi when she was a little one and I have never forgotten that. She always took care of  everyone.  When  I married my husband, she treated my children Vince and Martina the same way as Andi. She was always smiling and kind. She was the glue that kept our family together.  We will miss her very much but know she will always be in our hearts. ❤️

A beloved stepmother kind and generous always there for her family and friends. Cherished by all of us Rest In Peace Mom T.

Jerri and I became good friends while working together at Knoles Flowers in the 1980’s. We enjoyed going out to lunch together and the past few years our husbands went with us. I will miss her! I will always remember her beautiful smile.

Jerri and I went to school together,we went our separate ways marring and raising our children, about fifty years later we reconnected and four of us (classmates) started meeting for brunch once a month when it worked for us. Jeri was the one with all of the memories I wish I could have had her memory, we will miss her dearly.

I met Jerri through  my loving  wife Lori Fraboni. I always enjoyed spending time over at her house eating with family and telling stories.  She will never be forgotten and there will always be a place in my heart for her. Love you Jerri ❤️

I met Jerri through Kim Darnell and Waldenbooks.  Jerri used to run a kiosk outside our store and she was also a customer and later a friend.  She came to several dinners with all of us from Waldenbooks.  She was so friendly and had a great laugh and smile.  She will be missed by all who knew her.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends and hope they will be comforted with the blessing that was Jerri and rejoice in her life. 

I went to grade school with Jerri at Wilson school in Pekin. Went to her birthday party. She and her boy friend introduce me and  my husband as a blind date!
Then we didn't see  much of  each other til our families were raised....then we started meeting for brunch once a month weather permitting.
It was nice reconnecting. Getting caught up on each others lives.

You will always been in my heart. I will never forget that smile. Love You Grandma 

I loved visiting with her, Tami and Cameron throughout the years when we would all get together for pizza parties. Our families have known each other for years and years. She was a fabulous person and will be missed much. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love you

Worked at Waldenbooks in the mall n she was right outside in the hall working for Swiss Colony.  I'd run over n check out the samples and looking for chocolate...talking about getting together at Christmas....
