Jerri, 69, Oshkosh, passed away on Sunday, November 24, 2013. She was born and raised in California and spent most of her life there and later moved to Wisconsin. When she moved here she brought such warmth with her. In fact words can't describe what a wonderful, kind, and compassionate woman Jerri was. She devoted her life to caring for her three children and her husband of 49 years, James. Jerri had cared for her ill mother and brother as well. She gave everything she ever could to make sure the needs of others were met before her own. She always had a smile for everyone, the kindest of words, the warmest of hugs, and just a hint of stubbornness that added a spark to her.
Jerri enjoyed fishing, bowling, making crafts, her favorite pastime of bingo, and spending time with her loved ones. She will be so deeply missed by all who had the chance to know her, but especially by her children, Jeff (Donna) Throop, James (Delia) Monasmith, and Julie (Tom) Adams; grandchildren, Jeff, Tanya (Kyle), Brian, Thomas, Jon, James, Joanna, and Dylan; great-grandchildren, Kaleb, Emily, Anna, Lauren, Jayce, and Anabell; and all of her friends at THE RIVERS.
She will be most welcomed into God's grace by her husband, James; her infant son, Joseph; her parents; 2 brothers; a sister; and her grandparents.
The family would like to thank the Aurora Baycare Medical Staff for all of their wonderful care given to Jerri.
Jerri, you will be forever in all of our hearts and always on our minds. We love you so much. Rest peacefully until we all can be together again.
