I want to let all Jerrilynns family and friends know that it was a true privilege to know her in only a little over a year we became best of friends, we talked sometimes 2-3 times a day, and if we wanted to vent or just have small talk, we spoke about future vacations and places we may go. She spoke and bragged about all of u kids and grandkids and …I feel like I know you all….she was so personable….so sociable….so loving and caring and what a hell of a caring compassionate nurse and friend. And Caylin she was so happy and excited to be with u and her new grandbaby..and also thought the world of your husband…. We shared alot and laughed alot… Im so happy she went to Florida with me….. I was not ready to let her go but I know she is in Heaven and has no more pain….you are all in my thoughts and prayers and if I can do anything for any of you please let me know……..Richelle Conklin
I will always remember Jerri’s infectious laugh and her warm smile. She was always so nice to me and my family. She is greatly missed.

I will never forget Jerri Lynn. Her big ol smile and laugh. I will miss talking with her. She loved her family so much. Huge heartfelt condolences to the entire family…Jan Quintana & family
Jerri was all and more that a grandmother should be to Alivia, and always included her sister Jocelyn when she came around, who also knew her as Grandma Juju. I’m thankful for the 6 and a half years Livy had with her, and will help make sure her memory lives on and and she never forgets her. Very sorry for your loss Zach, Pete, Kaylyn & Jeremy.

I remember how nervous the “ol lady” was about going back to school to get her nursing going. I told her there were more older people like us in school than young’ns. She called me and told me the next elder after her was 23 in her first class and I laughed so hard at the tone in her voice! She started laughing until she was crying. She had let her nerves get the best of her and I snapped her out of it. Lol She made it through and made a great nurse. gosh I loved her! When my gram was so sick she called constantly just to check in and see if we needed a break. Her heart was so big!! I’m honored to have called her friend. :'(

Can’t you just see the hot pink ambulance pulling up for her – looking like a divine – glorified – Barbie-mobile – lights of glory flashing – rotating – lighting up the sky like the 4th of July – angels at each elbow as they dance their way to the “Big B-mobile” – laughing as they hang out the top – and blowing kisses to each and everyone one of you – friends and family as – Jerri Lynn Stieler has left the building and entered into the arms of her Savior – Dr. King Jesus! Let the Holy Ghost party begin!
