Jerrie was a member of Saks Baptist Church and was a lifelong native of Anniston. She retired from Anniston Orthopedics where she worked for 33 ½ years. Jerrie was a wonderful and caring person with an enormous heart. She had much compassion for caring for others and was always willing to lend a hand and tend to those in need. In her spare time, Jerrie enjoyed watching Alabama football. She had many favorite pastimes, including camping and traveling with her husband, going to Disneyworld where she admired all things Mickey Mouse, reading, going to quartet conventions, and cooking. Jerrie also carried a desire in her heart to make sure those she knew and loved had flowers on their graves and would offer to place them for families that lived out of town. She will be remembered for the countless moments of generosity she so freely gave and forever loved for the way she made others feel.
