Jerry Landers Obituary
Jerry loved his Savior and teaching, preaching, and sharing the Word of God. Raised Baptist, Jerry joined Northside UMC after his marriage. He faithfully served Northside all of his adult life in numerous leadership positions. He was a frequent Bible study teacher, a certified Lay Speaker, and the first Worship Leader of the Contemporary Worship Service. He loved music and sang in both Traditional and Contemporary Worship choirs and was an active member of the NUMC Drama Ministry. Jerry served Whitefield Academy as both the football and the basketball announcer, continuing with basketball through 2023. He was recognized for his service as "The Voice of the Wolfpack." Those who knew Jerry remember his integrity, his wit, and his love for God and for others.
Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Anne; his daughters Margaret Graton (Jason) and Morgan Landers; his brother Dr. Bill Landers (Teresa); his sister Leslie Pair; his brothers-in-law Dave Jollay (Cindy) and Tom Jollay (Kathy), and eight nieces and nephews. A brother-in-law, Rex Pair, preceded him in death. Celebration of life services will be Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 2:00p.m. at Northside UMC, 2799 Northside Drive, NW, Atlanta. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Jerry Landers to the Music Ministry of Northside UMC. A private family burial is planned.

Anne I am so sorry to hear about Jerry passing. Jerry was such a good person loving and kind. Jerry and I were great friends. We met in high school at South Cobb and had a lot of good times over the years. Jerry introduced me to my wife Diana and he was the best man at our wedding. I met Anne before they were married when Jerry and I shared an apartment in Midtown. I will miss Jerry. He was a great person, a great friend. My condolences to his family and especially Anne.

Jerry was one of the good guys. He was a friend and he did some legal work for our family. Both the friendship and the legal work for our 101 year old cousin were excellent. We will miss him as a true dawg fan.
