As a dietitian, Jerry touched many lives through her work, guiding people toward healthier choices with compassion and understanding. She approached her profession with the same warmth she brought into every aspect of her life, striving to uplift those she served with her knowledge and caring nature. Her career often entwined with her love and passion for cooking, creating numerous dishes which brought not only great joy to her but to others at the table.

Throughout her life, Jerry’s passions were as diverse as her expansive heart.

To Jerry, family was everything; they were her greatest delight and her proudest achievement
