Jerome “Jerry” Perry Watkins born on June 13, 1949, age 70, went home to be with the Lord on December 12, 2019.
He was the third of 5 children and was a beloved brother. As a child, Jerry was mischievous and sometimes a prankster. If you walked into his room, a bucket of water just might fall on your head. It’s almost impossible not to smile or laugh reflecting on some of his childhood antics.
After attending Cleveland Public Schools, Jerry married Ruth Bell and was blessed with 3 daughters: Angelic, Alana, and Antoinette; Ruth, who preceded him in death, was loving and devoted wife. Jerry was also blessed with a son: Jerome Perry.
