Jolliffe Funeral Home in Scottsbluff is in charge of arrangements. Jerry was born Oct. 25, 1944, in Scottsbluff to Katie (Adams) Seifert and George Seifert. Jerry attended Roosevelt Public Schools and Scottsbluff High School. After school, Jerry served in the United States Army and was stationed in France and numerous other cities. While stationed in France, Jerry lived with a chef. This is where Jerry first got his love for cooking! After serving his Country, Jerry came back to Nebraska where he married Helen (Fedorchik) Seifert on May 8, 1969. Jerry and Helen had three children: Lance (who passed away as an infant), Rebecca and Lane. Jerry was a very loving father and always had time to go on trips to South Dakota or Big Thompson Canyon as Rebecca and Lane were growing up. He also coached Lane's 23 Club Baseball team for many years. Jerry was a very hard and dedicated worker. He worked at Nash Finch, Lockwood's and most recently at Target for the past 18 years. He had a great family made up of all of his Target coworkers. They all loved to joke around, have fun and help each other out. Jerry also helped his daughter, Rebecca, and son-in-law at The Playhouse Skate and Fun Center as he was in charge of maintenance. There wasn't anything that Jerry wouldn't do for anyone. He helped anyone whether it be family, friend or stranger that needed help. All you had to do was ask and Jerry was there. He also shared his love of cooking with family and friends as he always took his famous sausage, fudge and other goodies to share with everyone. Jerry's holiday turkey and stuffing will be greatly missed by all, along with the other meals he made throughout the year. Jerry had lots of hobbies and interests, but his main ones were collecting sports cards and memorabilia, going to garage sales with Helen and spending time with his family and going to all of his granddaughters activities. He was a frequent face on the Gering sidelines at Chelsi's soccer games and he also was at all of Aspen's AYSO soccer games and biddy basketball games. Jerry always loved getting "little surprises" for his granddaughters. He also enjoyed kicking back in his recliner and watching his favorite westerns and sport events. Survivors include his wife Helen of Mitchell; daughter and son-in-law, Rebecca and David Shields of Ger-ing, son and daughter-in-law Lane and Jessica (Nielsen) Seifert of Scottsbluff; granddaughters, Chelsi Fry of Lincoln and Aspen Shields of Gering; sisters, Carol Cline of Texas, Elanor Fudge of Texas; brothers, Wayne (and Barb) Seifert of Colorado, Larry Seifert of Texas and Jack (Marie) Seifert of New Jersey; sisters-in-law, Sophie (and Don) Luchter-hand of Arizona, Vera (and Chuck) Morgan of Scottsbluff, Rosemary (and late Henry) Fedorchik of Gering and brother-in-law, Bill (and Carol) Fedorchik of Gering and numerous nephews, nieces and cous-ins.
