I will miss you Jerrie...your smile, your wit, your ‘cello. Performance committee. WMC, how you loved it and your teaching. I miss you so much! You are loved by so many! My condolences to friends and family.

Ms. Cribb had taught me for over 5 years although it definitely felt like more. I cannot imagine another teacher as kind, as caring, and as nurturing as she was. What first started as a chore became a passion of mine and there is no one else I can say that helped change my opinion on playing the cello than her. There are so many fond memories I have of going to her house and bonding about whatever had managed to become the topic of the day. I wish there were words to describe how amazing of a...

Jerrie was so kind to me and my wife when we came to St. Stephen's as newcomers. She was a delight in Book Club, hosting meetings through 2019 and attending 2020 meetings via Zoom until a couple of months ago. She graciously cared for my dog last Thanksgiving so I could travel with family. That is when I first learned she was 95. I was so surprised. Jerrie was so full of life I would never have guessed.

Mrs. Cribb was my daughter's cello teacher for several years. I remember dropping my daughter off and Cocoa the dog would meet her at the door and take a nap during her lesson. Jerrie was a true teacher dedicated to sharing her love of music with students. She had a real zest not only for music but life in general.

Jerrie was my close friend for over 60 years. When our children were really young we would all get together at Tom and Jerrie's every Saturday night and share dinner with a bottle of bourbon between us --- while the kids played upstairs! Jerrie loved to entertain ---- loved to cook ----- so hospitable. I remember so many wonderful dinner parties at their house. She was a loving---determined----extremely hospitable --- talented woman. She was my role model. Although I have moved far...

My mom, Harriet Green, played chamber music with Jerrie all over Columbus for many years. Jerrie is pictured with Harriet (seated at the piano) and violinist Mary Ellen Huff. This is one of my favorite photos, and brings back many memories.

Jerrie will be missed by all. She was a vibrant, loving and talented person who treasured her time with all of her musical colleagues. I was uplifted by her joy and energy. What a loss!
Jerrie, let our love and gratitude surround you as you rest in peace.
