Obituary
Jeroline Ann Lee, fondly called “Jerri”, was born on April 15,
1924 in Albany, New York.
The family relocated to East Orange, New Jersey and in later years, took
up residence in Brooklyn, New York where “Jerri” completed her
education. During World War II, Jeroline was employed by the War
Department in Washington, D.C.
On January 27, 1946, she was united in holy matrimony to James M. Lee
who predeceased her. To this union three daughters were born, the late
Gwendolyn Perkins, Sandra Lee and Denise Lee, all of Newark, New
Jersey.
“Jerri” was a faithful and devoted member of Blessed Sacramenv/St.
Charles Borromeo Church for many years. She served as Eucharistic
minister, proclamation of the word, instructor for R.C.LA (Right of
Christian Initiation for Adults). She also devoted her time to the church
as a food pantry volunteer and Bingo worker. The Archdiocese of
Newark awarded her the Jubilee 2000 Award. For several years,
Jeroline was the treasurer of the Blessed Sacrament/St. Charles Rosary
Altar Society.
She was employed for thirty-five years and retired in 1994 from the City
of Newark, as a medical clerk stenographer for the Department of Food
and Drugs.
Much of “Jerri’s” spare time was devoted to the Girl Scouts of America
community activities before she held the position of Assistant Girl Scout
Leader in 1959. She served on the Board of Directors in 1973 and was
second and third Vice President from 1978-198----. Jeroline received the
highest award in adult scouting—called the “Thanks Badge II” in 1993.
Jerri was one of the founders of the Crispus Attucks Association, a
membofe trhe Metropolitan Civic Association and the Ind
Citizen’s Alliance. The Black Professional Women awarded her their
Sojourner Truth Award.
“Jerri” is survived by two daughters, Sandra Lee and Denise Lee; one
grandson, Hassan Perkins; one granddaughter, Sharonda Perkins; a son-
GOD Saw you getting tired
And ac ure was not to be
So He put His arms around you,
And whispered, “Come to Me!”
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Acknowledgments:
We, the family acknowledge all expressions of love, Kindness and
To
sympathy in our time ofb ereavement.
We gratefully and sincerely appreciate all ofy our support.
