January 4 1928 January 30 2020
Born January 4, 1928 in Danville, IL, she moved to West Lafayette at age 5 and was a life-long resident of the Lafayette area. She graduated from Jefferson High School in 1946. Jerry held many jobs throughout her life; however, the career that gave her the most joy was her 24 years at Home Hospital working as a nursing assistant in the newborn nursery where she rocked and cared for generations of Tippecanoe County babies. Once she retired, she spent countless hours caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was a beloved “Granny, Grandma and Grapesie.” Jerry was a hardworking single mom for most of her life, but was most proud of the successes of her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her children: Michael Madden (husband Bill Meinweiser) and Melody Carducci (husband Pat); three grandchildren:, Lee Schick (wife Christine), Tracey Schick (wife Joannie) and Andrew Madden; seven great-grandchildren: Betta Schick, Corbin Schick, Jacob Schick, Trinity Maxfield-Davis, Macie Maxfield-Davis, Leo Schick and Ember Madden; and two great-great-grandchildren. Jerry is preceded in death by daughter Rebecca Schick (husband Richard) and daughter-in-law Sue Madden. Visitation will be held from 5pm – 8pm Monday, February 3, 2020 at Hippensteel Funeral Home.
