So sorry to hear about Jerrie. I worked at the Free Lance-Star when she was there and always enjoyed her company. So cheerful and outgoing. Her son Bucky helped coach our son in baseball and Will played on the team with him. Jerrie was such a fun and loving person and will be sorely missed. Our condolences to her family.
