"My family was incredibly blessed to know Jernice and our sympathies are with all who mourn her loss. She was of incredible service to my mother, particularly in her declining years. Jernice was always patient, never uttered a cross word and we knew she could manage anything that required managing. We will miss her. "

Tributes
"My late husband Jerry and myself, along with good friends had a wonderful time with Clark and Jernice. Lots of laughs and wonderful conversations. Jernice was kind enough to spend an afternoon introducing two of my girls to picking strawberries. Her receipe for Robert Redford cake has become a family favorite. My deepest sympathy to her family, she really was a sweetheart."
