My dear friend Jerry and I met at work - she was someone I so looked up to because of her knowledge, class, discretion, and warmth - and because she was a champion for our agency, USAID, and for staffers that were serious about committing to our important work. She was tireless - always had time for you. As the years passed, Jerry became my girlfriend and I came to enjoy going to Rehoboth to see my Mom and Stepdad not only because they were there but because it gave me an opportunity to be with (at the casino or a restaurant or at her house) with Jerry! There will be another big void in my life with her passing. But I carry her in my heart always and thank God for the this wonder friend who had to confront too many challenges in her life - but had the strength to navigate thru them because of the love her children, grandchildren, sister, and other family members and many, many dear friends in the US and around the world where she served our country and her host countries AND because of the deep love and faith she had in her God. Hugs to you, Jerry. Love Carla

So sorry to hear about the passing of Jerry. I remember the hospitality she showed me when I went to Budapest to do some training. She was the perfect hostess. My condolence to the family.

Family,

Jerry and I worked together for some twenty years. We had much fun in the office and among friends afterwards. She had a keen wit and found humor in the most serious of situations. She was able to lighten the atmosphere for us all and make our working days more enjoyable. I will sincerely miss her. May you find peace in that she was well liked and made a wonderful contribution to society.

Her friend, Shirley Renrick

I have great memories of the little red Vol. Wagon that Jerry and I shared for to and from work.

Jerry was a special person, very kind and she always cared for people around her. It was truly a pleasure to know her and learn from the best expert. I’ll remember her for the big spirit she had, and will miss her deeply.
My sincere condolences.

To the Family: I had the pleasure of working with Jerry for most of my USAID career. Jerry was one of my mentors some 41 years ago when we both moved into the LAC/EMS Office. Jerry's warmth, generosity, bubbly personality and high energy always endeared her to me. She remained an exceptional colleague, friend and inspiration. I had the good fortune to reconnect with Jerry a couple of years ago; and the opportunity to spend the day with her, her sister Mary Anne, and friends one day last August. It was an absolutely great day getting reacquainted and sharing memories of USAID. A day I think of often with very fond memories. I always thought of Jerry as being like the "energizer bunny" -- all charged up and ready to move forward. I still saw this in her until the end. She put up a good fight, but God thought it was time that she rest. I will miss her deeply but will always consider my life brighter and richer for having known her for the past 41 years.

To: Nanette, John and Mary Anne -- My prayers and heartfelt sympathies are with you.

To the Family: I'm so sorry for your loss. Jerry has left a wonderful legacy for you to follow and remember. Her high standards of professionalism, work ethics, character, values, sense of humor and love for all of mankind have been felt around the world. See will always be remembered. She loved and was concerned about her family. It was so funny, when she was end the office, especially on Friday, she would say, "I've gotta get out of here so I can get across that bridge before the traffic builds up!" She was a blessing to us on many occasions. RIP Jerry. JOB WELL DONE!

To USAID: Jerry was like family! We just kinda always felt she would be there. I worked with Jerry for many years directly and indirectly. When I retired in 2009, she was working with the Tiger Team assisting the Europe and Eurasia Bureau. We could always count on Jerry. She loved to travel. She will surely be missed but she will forever be in my heart. Jscriber
