Jerry M. Sullenger, age 82, of Princeton, passed away on July 11, 2024, at Princeton Nursing and Rehabilitation.
Jerry was born on May 9, 1942, in Morganfield, Kentucky, to her late parents, Gilbert and Zula Mae Tabor. She led a life of kindness, compassion, and deep faith. Jerry graduated as a proud majorette from Crittenden County High School in the Class of 1960. She went on to work in Human Resources at Bremner, originally starting her career when the company was known as Arvin, and she dedicated many years of service before her retirement. Jerry was an active member of Northside Baptist Church. Her service included attendance at Sunday School and a commitment to working in the nursery, nurturing the youngest members of the congregation with the same care and affection she bestowed upon her own family.
Her dedication to her family was apparent, as she filled their lives with love and guidance. Jerry found joy in her 64-year marriage to her devoted husband, Eddie D. Sullenger; and cherished every moment spent with her son, David (Wendy) Sullenger; her granddaughters, Mary Grace (Jamus) McAtee and Adison Sullenger; and her great-grandson, Jiles McAtee, all of Princeton; loving caregivers, Pat Puckett, Anita Cayce, Janet Cayce.
She was predeceased by her loving parents; her daughter, Kimberly Dawn Sullenger; foster daughter, Sherry Tucker; and brother, Robert Hodge.
Jerry will always be remembered as the sweetest soul, whose loving and kind nature enriched the lives of those around her. Her faith-filled presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and devotion will forever be cherished by her family and friends.
