Jerry is survived by his three daughters, Jane Liesveld (Deepak Sahasrabudhe) of Rochester, NY, Judy Liesveld of Albuquerque, NM, and Jill Liesveld of Coralville, IA. As the father of daughters, he supported their education and professional careers. He is also survived by his four grandchildren, Kieran Sahasrabudhe, Peter Sahasrabudhe, Jared Dooley, and Joy Liesveld, all of whom adored him. Others who survive are his sister-in -law Eleanor (Stanley) Scheevel, nieces, nephews, friends, and supportive neighbors from the Lakeshore Dr./Geneseo St. neighborhood. After Lorene's death, Jerry entered the Methodist Manor Community and enjoyed his stay at Otsego Place. Having developed severe glaucoma and partial blindness at an early age, Jerry was an example of surmounting challenges and making the most of things. Faith, constancy, and service were hallmarks of his life and the legacy which he leaves.
The Liesveld family wishes to thank the caregivers at Methodist Manor as well as the UnityPoint Hospice team. There will be no calling hours. Interment in the Holland Cemetery, Holland, NE. Arrangements by Fratzke and Jensen Funeral Homes. Memorials in Gerald's name may be made to UnityPoint Hospice 112 W. 5th St. PO Box 427, Storm Lake, IA.
