Was born November 23, 1941. He was the son of Walter E. Gregory and Eugie A.(Whitener) Gregory and passed away at Stockhoff Nursing Home Fredericktown, Mo. on April 22, 2022.

Jerry was preceded in death by his wife Mary (Bernard) Gregory whom he married November 19, 1960 in St. Louis, Mo; daughter Jennifer "Lynn" (Gregory) Pierce; one brother H. Elgin Gregory; and his parents.

Jerry is survived by his three children, Martha (Phil) Senter of Fredericktown; Mark (Lori) Gregory of St. Louis; and Angie (Dan) Hurt of Park Hills; one sister, Retta White of Fredericktown; 6 grandchildren ; and 4 great grandchildren; and one nephew, and one great nephew.

In his younger years Jerry worked with his brother Elgin at West's Circle B Market Grocery in Fredericktown as a meat cutter. Many will remember Jerry's humor and kidding around with the customers from behind the meat counter. Jerry also played fast-pitch softball on a league in Fredericktown where he was the pitcher. In more recent years until his health declined, he loved playing the guitar and singing. Most importantly though, Jerry was a member of Twelve Mile Baptist Church at Zion, Mo. where he taught Sunday school for many years. He'd tell you about Christ and His love for us and tell you about eternal life and that you'd better be ready. He knew the Bible and scripture well.

Jerry loved his kids and grandkids, family gatherings, and spending time with everyone.
