Jerri was born on April 15, 1959, to Ernest McBride and Faye Marie Freeman in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jerri graduated from Emmerich Manual High School and began her career in bookkeeping. She received many certificates of achievement and continuing education along the way. She married William Mark Nuckles on May 14, 1976, while he served in the Navy. During their marriage they brought two amazing children into this world William “Billy” Jack and Jennifer Marie. She was blessed with four beautiful grandchildren Paige Noel, Abbigayle Marie, Taylor Brooke, and TJ whom she worshiped the ground they walked on. She loved hanging out with her sister and cutting up about the many funny memories they shared. Jerri loved crafting any chance she got whether it was sewing, painting, or creating beautiful one of a kind, woodworking piece. She took great pride turning flower beds into colorful beauties. She loved attending drag races where she cheered her husband, son, and son-in-law on. She always made sure everyone was well fed in the pits in between races. She would always tell you when she appreciated a nice muscle car.
