Obituary
Geraldine Louise Jackson Willis, 85, died peacefully on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, at her home. The family will greet friends at a viewing at Cochran Funeral Home on Friday, May 1, 2015, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Following, loved ones are invited to celebrate her life in a service scheduled for 11:00 a.m. in the Cochran Funeral Home Chapel in Livingston, Texas. Leading the service is Rev. James Frazier of the First United Methodist Church of Livingston, Texas. Burial will follow in the Forest Hills Cemetery in Livingston, Texas.
Jerry was born in Livingston, Texas, on January 28, 1930, one of two children of Gerald and Alma Jackson. She attended Livingston schools, where she met Robert Douglas Willis, the love of her life. They married in 1948 and went on to have four children, Susan Willis Wadle, Robert Campbell Willis, Walter Benjamin Willis, and William Douglas Willis.
Jerry was a member of the First United Methodist Church and was delighted to worship her Lord by singing in the church choir. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, and doting grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a stay-at-home mom with her children, but had many hobbies through the years, including sewing, gardening, playing bridge, keeping up with the W3 ranch, Texas Longhorn football and cooking. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Pilot Club, and made the best chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving dressing in the world.
Jerry leaves behind to cherish her memory, her son, Bob and daughter-in-law, Julie of Livingston, Texas; son Bill and daughter-in-law, Brenda of Livingston, Texas; daughter, Susan and son-in-law, Charles of Houston, Texas; grandchildren, Wendy Bridges, and her husband, Brad of Dallas, Texas; Marcus Walker of Bryan, Texas; Sean, and his wife, Michelle MaGee of Houston, Texas; and great-grandchildren, Olivia Diane and Alex Bridges of Dallas, Texas, her namesake, Tyla Louise Walker of Bryan, Texas, and Skyler MaGee of Houston, Texas.
Jerry was loved and cared for not only by her family, but by a special group of individuals, including Angela Crawford, who lovingly called her Mama; Tammy Roth; Edith Damian; and Frankie White.
Jerry is proceeded in death by her husband, Robert; her son, Ben; her mother and father; and her sister, Mary Alma Hinnenkamp.
She will be greatly missed, but will be seen again in Heaven.
