I worked with Jeri for a number of years at Wal-Mart, and she and Tim were our neighbors when we lived in Clay Center. Jeri was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever known. I will always remember her shy, sweet smile. She will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss

We were so sorry to read of the passing of Jeri and know how she is going to be missed. I worked with Jeri at the Buffalo Roam Steak House in Mankato Ks in the early 1980's and found out what a wonderful person she was. We would also have her babysit our young boys and I never had to be concerned as I knew she would take good care of them. Always kind, wonderful smile and a pleasant word to share. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all on the passing of this wonderful human being. Elaine and Harold Lippold
