Jerri was born Geraldine Wonona Ham, in Oklahoma City, Okla., on October 24, 1923, to John and Jewel Ham; who have preceded her in death. Jerri and Roy lived and raised their family in Phoenix, Bagdad and Prescott Valley since 1946. Over the years, Jerri worked for Motorola and owned a café with her parents in Phoenix. She and Roy B. owned and operated a bar, restaurant and motel business in Bagdad, Ariz. She, of course, tended to her household, husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who call her, "Greatest". We will all miss her ready smile and hug for everyone; her wonderful personality and sense of humor, which her brother, John, says came from her mother, Jewel.
