Jerry had an extended family; her dear and devoted friend, Sue Wilson and her three “very special daughters,” Missy (her favorite nurse), Tammy, and “Little Heather” who were all there with the family when the Angels came for Jerry.

“Our family would like to thank the wonderful, caring staff at the Lower Cape Fear Hospice Life Care Center, the Doctors and Nurses and NH Regional Medical Center, the staff at the Zimmer Cancer Center treatment facility, and everyone at Autumn Care of Myrtle Grove. We appreciate Jerry’s friends who were there with her throughout her battle with cancer; she fought strong and hard to the very end. We all loved her and will miss her deeply. Jerry was a very “Special Person”, she will always be in our hearts and thoughts”.
