Born February 25, 1924 in Old Hickory, TN. She traveled the world and carried with her a pride in her hometown and in her family, spreading her love of them to all who would listen. Her journey's end leaves behind a husband, E. Ray Jerkins, after 65 years of devoted marriage. She will also be remembered by her two sons, Drs. Gerald and Gary Jerkins, and her seven grandchildren, Chris, Stephen, Brian, Jonathan, Nathan, Michael, Brittney, and two great-grandchildren, Kendall and Kailyn. We have all loved her and will miss her until the joy of our heavenly family reunion.
