Jerle was a member of First Presbyterian Church, in Jacksonville, FL and received a certificate to assist with spiritual counseling. She was always a caregiver at heart. Dedicated mother, grandmother and was a steadfast supporter of her many family members who were in the U.S. Navy. She enjoyed making sure the bird feeders were full. Her favorite place was on the beach, where her heart and soul were with the ocean – a true “water baby” at heart.
