Jerrie Berg Barnett

taught with Jerrie at Kensington school for several years. Our classes often played kickball against each other on Fridays if they behaved! Lots of fun and good memories. She was a good character and a fun person! Ill always have fond memories of her.

Girls, Gerrie spoke so lovingly of you all the time. She was truly a one of a can gal, loving, compassionate and interested in passing on her talents and heart. I cherish the Afghan she knitted my for my retirement.

I always appreciated her upbeat nature and her avid interest in getting involved with community events and local politics.

Two nights ago a group of teachers heard the news of Jerries passing. We spent the next couple of hours telling stories of how Jerry impacted our lives as teachers and as people. She brought such joy to her students and to the group of us who are just starting out in their careers. We all commented that we had Jerries crocheted baby blankets still in our possession 20+ years later. We shared many stories and what we were left with was how lucky we were to know and work with Jerrie. We know...

Kim and Kelly, sending you and all of your family sincerest condolences from the Lennon's. Memories of her lively character and commitment to the community will live on in the hearts of the many people whose lives she touched.

So sad to hear of the loss of my friend Jerrie Barnett, who I've known for 30-plus years. Her support of kids and reading - and of children's literature in general - was unequaled. My condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed!
