The photo of Jerri is just as beautiful as I remember her. Many years have passed, but I can still hear her laugh. I hope the family is comforted by memories.
Thank you Carolyn.
I worked with Jerri at Cummins. She was so nice and so much fun. Beautiful lady. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I worked for a short time with Gerry at Cummins in the Systems area. She was a constant delight. When she turned 50 we hung a banner from the “balcony” above an open area. Gerry was so talented with her crafts. I have a small owl on a block of wood that I bought from her. She would bring items to work and set up a little display. One piece she made with me in mind is a rectangular board depicting an oceanside scene with shellfish, seagulls, pilings, etc. and sailboats in the “ocean.”
I loved it and gave it to my Dad for his birthday. My whole family missed the ocean, being from Mass. and Maine.
My condolences for losing such a special person.
