Jerri Kohlhorst

Jerri was my very best friend in high school. She loved children and teaching them. She will be missed very much by her family and friends. She will always be a special friend in my heart. My sincere condolences to her family.

May her memory be a blessing for family and everyone who knew her.

Jerri was, for many years, a wonderful neighbor and friend to my parents, grandma, and then to my husband, our 3 kids and me. We are very sad for her 3 kids and 4 grandkids.

I have known Jerri for many,many years. She was in my sister's 1965 class and I was in Jackie's 1968 class. I remember having a fun time at Jackie's birthday party , I think 7th grade. Jerry and I reminisced about our Shawnee years when we taught together in Lima schools. She was always a caring person.

I first met Jerri when I was hired into Lima City Schools. We worked together as co-workers and then on the union board. Jerri's laugh was so genuine and unique that I can still close my eyes and hear it. She's up there in Heaven organizing all the retired teachers. Miriam Rader-Downing

What a terrific Shawnee classmate. Jerri will be missed by us all.
