Jerry Harrelson age, 69, passed away on Monday, December 25, 2023, at his home in Reidsville surrounded by his loving family. He was born on December 7, 1954, in Vidalia to his loving parents, Odell and Mary Sharpe Harrelson.

Beyond his passion for painting, Jerry enjoyed engaging in various activities that brought him excitement and camaraderie.

Jerry's memory will forever be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know him.
