Jerry Baley Obituary
Jerry was born on January 13, 1951 in Fayetteville, Arkansas to the late, Kenneth and Olive May (Fields) Morgan. He enjoyed hunting the great outdoors; writing poetry and stories about growing up, filled with details of family history, hunting and fishing in his beloved Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. He was an exceptional musician, playing the dulcimer, guitar and spoons. He could never pass up a good family jam session! His favorite band mate was his late brother-in-law, Oscar Hudson. What started as a few country musicians just picking and playing turned into a family jam session, which felt like a concert to everyone watching!
He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Barbara Hudson, Kenneth Baley, Sandra Andrews and Chester Leon Baley.
Jerry is survived by his longtime companion, Lola Hamaker; his brother, Donald Baley and wife, Bonnie of Humansville, Missouri; several dozen nieces, nephews, and greats; as well as a host of other family and friends who will dearly miss Jerry.
Memorial services for Jerry will be held at a later date, to be determined.
Arrangements are under the personal care and direction of the Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.ozarkfuneralhome.com.
