from Meryl Stowbridge:

Jeri was a reunion co-chair at our 35th in 2006. Later, for our 45th in 2011, when care taking responsibilities for her mother made her feel unable to commit to that job, she led the memorial service. Jeri was a psychotherapist and ordained minister.

Gail Steketee and I had lunch with Jeri on the deck of her home near Worcester in the summer of 2020—just as Covid was rampant and there were no vaccines yet—so we brown-bagged it outside. We had concerns, and sure enough, a few months later, her daughter Erin and son Nick had taken over her affairs. They moved Jeri to a continuing care Masonic facility in New Jersey, nearer to them. While she was still able to carry on a phone conversation, Jeri invited me to stop by for lunch—not quite aware of the distance from Boston...

from Cynthia Blanton:

The Daniels Babes are grieving today, although we had been grieving for several years because our dear comrade Jeri Drum Babinsky was lost to us due to dementia. She passed away on Monday, the 16th. This is too sad.
