Jerry Lee Stufflebeam was born Feb. 27, 1939, in Waverly, to Darwin E. and Ruth L. (Hart) Stufflebeam. He was the middle child of three children born to his parents.

Jerry attended, excelled academically and graduated from Rockford Community High School in 1957.

Many years later, Jerry furthered his education at North Iowa Area Community College in Mason City. In 1983, he earned a degree in agri-business and graduated with a 4.0 grade point average.

Jerry took great pride in providing for his family. He was a lifelong resident of Floyd County, a member of the First United Methodist Church and well-known by many.

Jerry was employed at Brick and Tile in Rockford, Bantam Shields in Waverly and, more recently, at White Farm in Charles City, from which he retired in 1980.

Some of Jerry’s favorite leisure activities and interests included vegetable and flower gardening, woodworking and collecting old toy tractors. He especially favored his John Deere replicas.

All who knew Jerry, were familiar with his love of the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting any type of wild game, trapping and fishing, especially along the Shellrock River in Rockford, bird watching, and tending to his honey bees. Many neighbors, friends and family members savored the honey reaped from his hobby.

Most of all, Jerry treasured his entire family and loved being near them as much as possible. He was a nurturing and loving grandfather to his 12 grandchildren, Justin, Heather, Lacey, Michell, Cody, Melinda, Christopher, Ashley, Katie, Kyle, Logan and Jacob.

Jerry will be missed dearly by his family and friends. He is survived by his four children, Janet Cassmann and her husband, Bruce of Rockford, Becky Brierly and her friend, Joe Kramer of Marble Rock, Julie Navratil of Rockford and Jason Stufflebeam and his wife, Kelly of Nevada, Iowa; his brother, Thomas Stufflebeam and his wife, Marian of Rockford; his twelve grandchildren and numerous other relatives and friends.

Preceding Jerry in death were his two children, Jerry Lee Jr. and Toni Lee Stufflebeam; his parents, Darwin and Ruth; and one brother, Bob (Stuffy) Stufflebeam.

Funeral arrangements are in the care of Fullerton-Schumburg Funeral home, 302 W. Main St., Rockford.
