Jerri Roberson Obituary
(nee Davis)
Born: October 02, 1972; in Davenport, IA
Died: July 10, 2019; in Memphis, TN
Jerri Lyn "Jerilyn" Roberson (nee Davis) passed away unexpectedly July 10, 2019 at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, TN at the age of 46.
Jerilyn is survived by her soulmate and husband Lukas Roberson (MS), her cherished sons Corbin Smith (IL), Colton Smith (MO), Cody Smith (IL) and her loving siblings Ken (Jill) Peve (IL), Kathleen (Kent) Nussbaum (IL), Gene Serres (IL), Karla (John) Myers (IL) and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Jerilyn graduated from Moline High School in 1990 and was currently attending college in pursuit of her Medical Transcription degree to be awarded later this year. Jerilyn met the love of her life Lukas Roberson and they married August 05, 2006 in Moline, IL. She loved her job as Human Resources Manager for Duraflex, Inc. and all of the people (and friends) she worked with.
Jerilyn's daily life was full of family, framily and friends from all over. She deeply loved her dogs and her children. She had a talent for designing/decorating and enjoyed entertaining. Jerilyn loved the beach/ocean almost as much as she loved Candy Crush and the Dallas Cowboys. Her infectious laugh, hardworking, devoted, loyal, effortlessly understanding and giving personality always compelled her to help any and everyone in need. Jerilyn had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. She was a passionate advocate for mental health and abused women awareness. Jerilyn's selfless love for others was forever validated in her passing as an organ donor. To date, she has already saved the lives of four others through the ultimate kindness of organ donation. Her lifetime of self-sacrifice was not in vain.
For those who were blessed to be a part of Jerilyn's journey, there will be a Celebration of Life scheduled in the near future to be announced at a later date.

I know it's been a while since I've talked to you, but you were an amazing woman. You welcomed me into your home with open arms and helped me out when I needed it. I wish I could have thanked you more. Rest In Peace Jerri

Jeri...I still can't believe your gone. I've known you since grade school. I will always remember us playing in the fort in your back yard on 17th Avenue. I also remember how we used to put make up on at the bus stop in the morning before school and removing it after school on the bus home. I'm go glad I got to see you and introduce you to one of my daughter's when in Illinois for a brief time. My daughter just fell in love with you. You will be so missed by everyone. I still can't believe your gone old friend. I find solice in knowing I'll see again one day in heaven.
