Jerri Greene Obituary
Jerri is survived by her sons, William L. Thompson Jr. and Clay A. Thompson; her stepdaughter, Candy Cochran; nine grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Candace Downing and Jeremi Harnack. She was preceded in death by her parents, PJ Aylward and Helen Whitmire, and her great-grandson, William L. Thompson IV.
Jerri spent the early years of her career teaching special needs children. She also worked with the Council on Aging and the Appalachian Council of Governments in NC. Later, she became the Director of the Spartanburg Development Council, continuing her path in public service.
A service celebrating Jerri's life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Jerri will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Her legacy of love and service will forever be remembered.
