Preceded in death by her mother, Adelle Warriner, her grandparents and her uncle, Ronny Swisher. Jerri enjoyed riding motorcycles with Jeff or riding her own motorcycle. She enjoyed spending time with her family and especially loved when all her children could be home together… which undoubtedly turned into a houseful of friends. She loved to cook and typically made way too much because you never knew when someone was stopping by. Jerri was a mother figure to so many, her revolving door was never locked and she always welcomed everyone.
