Jerry Lynn Pops Core

Jerry "Pops" Lynn Core, of Slidell, Louisiana, passed away on April 29, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family, at the age of 76. He was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, born on December 2, 1946 to his loving parents, the late Estelle Galloway Core and Ulmer G. Core. Jerry is the beloved husband of 56 years to Sharon Richard Core; cherished father of Christopher Lynn Core (Erin Broaddus Core) and Jason Scott Core (Nicole Packard Core); proud grandfather of Phoebe Lynn Core, Shelby Lynn Core, Jack Henry Core, and Genevieve Rowan Core; and treasured brother of George Core. He is also survived by a host of extended family members and friends, all of whom will miss him dearly. Jerry graduated from Covington High School with the Class of 1964 and from Loyola University in 1975, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He was a dedicated employee of the Naval Oceanographic Office until retirement. Jerry was a parishioner of St. Margaret Mary Church. He was an active member of the Krewe of Dionysus and the Knights of Columbus. When time allowed, Jerry could be found playing golf, hunting, fishing, or yelling at the LSU Tigers and the Saints. We would like to thank Jerry's care team who fought for him until his last days: Dr. Allen Calabresi, Dr. Janine Parker, Dr. Hana Safah, Dr. Marc Bernstein, Dr. M. Faith Joubert, and the Slidell Memorial Hospital ICU Rockstars.
