The family that Jeri joins again are her parents, George and Elizabeth; daughter, Frances E. Reese; sisters, Georgia S. Santerno, Lori Gellings and Vikki Reese, many more family and friends greeting her at the door.

Those she leaves behind to cherish her memory are her daughter, Faith Reese; brothers, Gordon Reese and Joseph Yellow, Sr.; sister, Sena Reese; special friend, Harry “Bro” Chase; niece, Alicia Herrera; grandchildren, Pernell Reese, Trishell Gustafson-Reese, Talise Gustafson-Reese, Aurelio Adan, Rosendo Calixto, Ramondo Adan, and Grant Gustafson, II.  Numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
