His Life
June 17, 2022
Jerry was born near Anson, Texas, to Charlie and Lila Roseberry and grew up in Central and West Texas. He was a loving husband and father and was beloved by those around him. Jerry was a veteran of the Korean war and served as a Navy radioman on three destroyers. After his military service, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Texas Tech University.

Most of his professional career consisted of working in a number of architecture and consulting engineering firms where he designed commercial heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems. Jerry was a lifelong learner and excelled at his late second career of teaching Special ED and STEM classes in the Keller, Texas school district. From boyhood on he loved singing and playing stringed instruments. Moreover, he enjoyed composing his own music, and delighted in getting together with other musicians to perform.

Jerry is survived by Bettye, his loving wife of 62 years, as well as his sons Michael and Christopher, daughter-in-law Rosemary, and his grandchildren Daniel and Caitlyn. He is predeceased by his parents Charlie and Lila Roseberry as well as all four of his siblings, Jean, Charles, Mahota and Jack.
