Jerri S. Goodman-Rutledge, age 73, passed away peacefully on March 25. Born on January 30, 1953, in Zanesville, Ohio.

Jerri lived a life filled with love, dedication and cherished memories. Jerri devoted over 30 years of her career to healthcare as a STNA, where her compassion and commitment touched the lives of many. Her warm smile and caring nature left a lasting impression on those she cared for and worked alongside.

Jerri found immense joy in spending time with her family.

Her family was the center of her world, as she treasured every moment spent with them.

Jerri had a zest for life that was evident in the things she loved most. Camping, trips, exciting, casino trips, NFL games and all Ohio State sports. She loved to bake delicious treats that brought smiles to those around her.
