Jerry Allen Woolery, 68, of Peculiar, Missouri passed away April 21, 2016 at the VA Medical Center, Kansas City, Missouri after a courageous 3 year battle with prostrate cancer.
Jerry was born October 7, 1947 to Emery R. and Edyth J. (Coskey) Woolery, whom preceded him in death. His childhood was spent on the family farm near East Lynne, Missouri.

Jerry was an over the road truck driver for 43 years, retiring in October, 2012. After retirement, he kept active on the farm. Wherever Jerry went, Chester, his dog, was right there beside him. He loved being in his John Deere tractor, camping and trail riding on Clyde, his horse.
Jerry was a lifetime member of the V.F.W. Post #8220, Belton, Missouri and a lifetime member of the Owners-Operators Independent Drivers Association.
