She is survived by her husband, Bob Kearbey; her daughters, Erin Veenendaal (Terry Veenendaal) and Linzy Kearbey Lusby (Cody Lusby); her grandchildren, Alexa Ross (35) (Konner Ross), Casey Veenendaal (30) and Penny (9)and her three great-grandchildren, Felix (15), Maddix (6), and Hendrix (2). Jeri’s love, laughter, and spirit will be deeply missed, but forever remembered by all who knew her. A private remembrance will be held by her immediate family.
