On November 8th, 2010, the world lost a bright, caring, independent woman and we lost our wonderful mother and friend. She was 87 years old. Jerrie was married May 29, 1945, to Robert Vaughn Connor for 51.5 years, until his death in 1996. Robert was career Air Force. Consequently, Jerrie lived in many places: New Jersey, Mississippi, New York, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Maryland, New Mexico, Florida, Germany, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah and Washington state. The world was truly her home! She worked for civil service for 15 years and held many other civilian jobs. She received many awards for superior performance and for suggestions she made in the work place. She was a loyal and steadfast friend to many all over the world from her various duty stations related to Robert’s Air Force career. She continued to attend the 26th Air Depot Air Force Reunion Group that met to honor the men Robert served with in North Africa and India during World War II. Jerrie was a superior student, skipping two grades to graduate at the age of 16 as salutatorian of Boonton High School in New Jersey. She prided herself throughout her life for her independent thinking and precise use of language. She was an avid reader and loved in-depth philosophical and political discussions. Her intellectual curiosity never left her. Her family was of major importance in her life — first, last and always. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Survivors include her loving daughter, Dana Connor and son-in-law, Roy McMillan; her devoted son, Gary Connor and daughter-in-law, Martha Connor; her cherished granddaughter, Kursta Joslin; her beloved great-granddaughters, Alyssa, Sara, Samantha and McKenna Moore.
