Jerrye had a love of genealogy research from a very early age of 10. She was a member of the Joseph E. Johnston Chapter # 198 United Daughters of the Confederacy and had helped research and compile books for genealogy use and was working on another one of her own when she died. Thanks to her friends at the UDC her work that was very near complete was finished using her notes and sent to the publishers and released in 1996 shortly after her death.
She never saw her book Confederate Soldiers from Limestone County, Alabama "Lest We Forget", a name Jerrye picked out herself. Jerrye was researching back before computers were used daily for research and her notes are in her handwriting and most are now in the home of her daughter.
